4. Discussion points Level of Experiences Only two regions provided data for level of experiences in ICP2011 Regions may want to collect information level by level to obtain more accurate average remunerations For global linking, requirement could be only average of levels? Deletion of items Some occupations were with very low coverage and/or low comparability in ICP2011 Possible deletion?: Kitchen helper, Senior government official, Cook, Messenger, Vocational education teacher (  SPDs) Frequent data collection Data are collected from official government pay scales Regular updates from official pay scales would be a possible option to be implemented? (easier than extrapolation?)
