Abstract

This paper analyzes three key labor market trends – structural change, servitization, and skill-biased change – using German data from 1975 to 2017. Through a decomposition analysis, we discern their individual impacts on employment shifts, revealing their distinct roles in the German labor market’s evolution. Servitization and skill-biased change significantly influence employment growth alongside structural change. Surprisingly, for instance, structural change accounted for only two-thirds of job losses in the manufacturing sector. Further analysis uncovers more detailed patterns across tasks, firm types, and regions.

拆解结构变化、服务化和技能偏向的变化

本文利用德国1975年至2017年的数据，分析了劳动力市场的三个关键趋势——结构变化、服务化和技能偏向化。通过分解分析，我们发现了它们对就业转移的个体影响，揭示了它们在德国劳动力市场演变中的独特作用。服务化和技能偏向变化与结构变化一起显著影响就业增长。例如，令人惊讶的是，结构性变化只占制造业失业的三分之二。进一步的分析揭示了跨任务、公司类型和地区的更详细的模式。
