Definitional notes:
Service workers and shop and market sales workers provide personal and protective services related to travel, housekeeping, personal care, or protection against fire, unlawful acts, or they pose as models for artistic creation and display, or demonstrate and sell goods in wholesale or retail shops and similar establishments, as at well as stalls and on markets. Most occupations in this major group require skills at the second ISCO level (ILO, 1990; p.143).
Minor group 515 (Astrologers, fortune tellers and related workers) in ISCO-88 is not separately identified; such occupations should be classified to unit group 5149 (Other personal services workers not elsewhere classified).
1. Personal care and related workers perform simple tasks to assist medical, nursing, midwifery and dental professionals or associate professionals in their dutires. They may also attend to the personal needs and provide care for persons in need of such care. Where no distinction can be made between 'institution-based' care (unit group 5132) and 'home-based' care (unit group 5133), all such personal care workers should be allocated to unit group 5130 (Personal care and related workers, nothing otherwise specified).
