Table 1.

Proportion of jobs in a database of occupational histories (31,673 jobs) for which the CAPS-Canada crosswalk assistant allowed linkage between pairs of occupation classification systems.

For each possible pair of starting/target classifications was evaluated for what proportion of jobs in our database the crosswalk from the starting to the target classification would lead to:

a‘<10 codes proposed’ = usefull information provided.

b‘direct link to 1 code’ = univocal links.
