Abstract

The routine task intensity of occupations is a concept frequently used to analyse the impact of technological change on employment. However, existing studies disagree on whether it can explain the observed job polarization in advanced economies. This article first shows that these seemingly contradictory results can be explained by the different routine task measurements used in these studies. Subsequently, the validity of these measurements is discussed. Preliminary results suggest that all measurements have conceptual weaknesses but that some appear more valid than others. Job polarization may therefore be explained by occupations' routine task intensity, but only to a limited extent.

日常任务和工作两极分化之间的联系:一个任务衡量问题?
职业的日常任务强度是一个经常用于分析技术变革对就业的影响的概念。然而,现有的研究对它是否可以解释发达经济体中观察到的就业两极分化存在分歧。本文首先表明,这些看似矛盾的结果可以通过这些研究中使用的不同常规任务测量来解释。随后,讨论了这些测量的有效性。初步结果表明,所有的测量都有概念上的弱点,但有些测量似乎比其他测量更有效。因此,工作极化可以用职业的日常任务强度来解释,但只是在有限的程度上。
