Comparability - General
INDGEN recodes the different industrial classifications of the various samples into twelve groups that can be consistently identified across all available samples. The third digit retains important detail among the service industries that could not be consistently identified in all samples.
The full detail of each original census industry classification is retained unrecoded in the IND variable.
Comparability - France
Industry in France was classified differently over the years. For the 1962 and 1968 censuses, no detail is available under "Services."
