economic unit for which they work and are accountable to or supervised by
another person or economic unit. Two groups are classified under
independent workers, namely, employers and independent workers without
employees. The category dependent workers contains three groups, namely,
dependent contractors, employees and contributing family workers. The
distinctions made in ICSE-93 between employers, own-account workers,
contributing family workers and employees are thus retained in this hierarchy.
ICSE-18-A is suitable for various types of labour market analysis such as the
impact of economic cycles, government policies and for the compilation of
statistics classified by socio-economic status.
ICSE-18-R reflects to some degree the economic risk to which the worker
is subjected in the job. This classification differentiates between workers in
employment for profit and those in employment for pay. Workers in
employment for profit are workers whose remuneration is dependent on the
profit or loss of the economic unit in which they are employed. They thereby
may face a greater economic risk than workers in employment for pay who
receive remuneration in return for time worked or for each piece or service
produced. Three groups are classified under workers in employment for profit,
namely, independent workers in household market enterprises, dependent
contractors and contributing family workers. The category workers in
employment for pay contains two groups, namely, owner operators for
corporations and employees.
