Abstract

The study aims to identify and describe the most relevant professional skill patterns among the digital platform workers from the selected Southeastern European (SEE) countries. Such orientation is based on the relatively modest presence of SEE countries in large pan-European studies, and on the lack of information regarding the applicability of existing online job taxonomies in observed countries. Applying a topic approach as a natural language processing technique, we analyzed the sets of self-reported skills provided by digital platform workers registered at the Upwork platform. Seven distinctive skill profiles were extracted, which only partly overlapped with the standard Oxford?s Online Labour Index of digital job taxonomy. Results are indicating clear distinctions between highly specialized and general job categories, and between creative and technical professions. Mapping of the skills and national affiliations reveal differences between EU and non-EU countries in the region regarding professional inclinations. Partly in line with the findings of previous studies, the results pave the way for future research on this topic.
我们如何看待数字平台工人的技能模式?证据来自东南欧
该研究旨在确定和描述来自选定的东南欧(SEE)国家的数字平台工作人员中最相关的专业技能模式。这种定位是基于大型泛欧研究中SEE国家相对较少的存在,以及缺乏关于现有在线工作分类在观察国家的适用性的信息。采用主题方法作为自然语言处理技术,我们分析了在Upwork平台注册的数字平台工作人员提供的自我报告技能集。七个不同的技能档案被提取出来,只有部分与标准的牛津?数字工作分类的在线劳动力指数。结果表明高度专业化和一般工作类别之间以及创造性和技术性专业之间存在明显区别。技能和国家关系的映射揭示了该地区欧盟和非欧盟国家在专业倾向方面的差异。部分与之前的研究结果一致,这些结果为未来的研究铺平了道路。
