Abstract
This paper updates earlier work by the authors (Elias and Purcell 2004) to create a statistical classification for analysis of the relationship between higher education (HE) and employment. Based on the Standard Classification of Occupations (SOC 2010), occupation unit groups are allocated to four categories via analysis of the tasks associated with typical jobs in each unit group. For three of the four categories (Experts, Orchestrators and Communicators) we postulate a link between the constituent tasks and the skills/knowledge provided via higher education. Validation of the new aggregate classification [SOC(HE) 2010] is then undertaken, using information from the 2011 and 2012 UK Labour Force Surveys and Futuretrack – a longitudinal study of applicants to HE in 2006.
