Af-SSYK

Definition

Arbetsförmedlingen's adaptation of the fourth level of the SSYK structure.

Description

Af-SSYK is a modified version of the fourth level of the official edition of the SSYK structure.

The modifications consist of merging and removal of a number of SSYK level 4 groups. Affected groups, and how they can be translated between Af-SSYK and the official version of SSYK level 4, can be found here.

All SSYK level 4 groups concerning managerial occupations have been affected in such a way that the representations of levels of management from the official version of SSYK is not used in Af-SSYK. For each managerial occupation, there are two such levels. Broadly speaking, the first level (codes ending with 1, e.g. 1311) denotes middle managers (manager over managers), whereas the second one (codes ending with 2, e.g. 1312) denotes managers at a more operative level. In Af-SSYK, these two codes are merged into one: 1310. The same patterns applies to all managerial codes (with SSYK codes starting with 1).

The four groups regarding undersköterskor in the official SSYK codes have been translated to two in Af-SSYK (only 5321 and 5323 are used).

The groups referring to local farm manufacturing and elected officials, 7619 and 4430, are not used in Af-SSYK. Even though the codes can describe occupations, the decision was made to exclude them as the objects classified within them are not subject to recruitment.

Purpose

Af-SSYK was developed at the same time as SSYK-2012. The reasoning behind Af-SSYK was that certain SSYK level 4 groups were not considered relevant in a matching context. This applies, for example, to all manager codes, where the distinction of management level is not used.

Uppdateringsförfarande

The Af-SSYK is updated in conjunction with the update of the official SSYK structure (currently SSYK-2012).
