Ukrainian refugees in Poland have a high employment rate (55-65 percent), but most work in low-skilled jobs, with around 40 percent feeling overskilled compared to their qualifications. Refugees face a marked increase in routine task intensity (RTI) in Poland, performing more repetitive, less...

We investigate cyclical changes in workers' task portfolios, highlighting their direction, magnitude, and distribution. Task changes are not only very common but provide information about the skills required across jobs. During recessions, a larger share of employer switches do not involve task...

We evaluate the influence on the skill premium of the task content of jobs by exploiting the text data from online job ads covering 2009-2018 (over 189,000 ads) published by one of the leading Chilean online job portals (www.trabajando.com). Our analysis tests the expected complementarity...

We investigate cyclical changes in workers' task portfolios, highlighting their direction, magnitude, and distribution. Task changes are not only very common but provide information about the skills required across jobs. During recessions, a larger share of employer switches do not involve task...

Pflegearbeit ist im heterogenen Personalmix aus Fach- und Assistenzkräften und aus akademisch ausgebildetem Personal organisiert. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, wie der Qualifikationsmix Beruflichkeit und Arbeitszufriedenheit in der erwerbsförmig organisierten Pflege beeinflusst: Positive...

Economic growth and job creation remain key challenges for Jordan, where the economy has only grown by an annual average of 2.5 percent over the past decade. Unemployment is persistently high (22.3 percent in 2023), particularly for youth (46.1 percent). Women, too, face significant structural...

We conduct a large-scale experiment in the labor market using more than 8,000 fictitious resumes to uncover the demand-side mechanisms behind the wage penalty for the self- employed. We find that self-employed individuals, compared to wage earners, are subject to adverse treatment across...

We investigate cyclical changes in workers’ task portfolios, highlighting their direction, magnitude, and distribution. Task changes are not only very common but provide information about the skills required across jobs. During recessions, a larger share of employer switches do not involve...

"We examine differences in jobs held by men and women based on a measure not used before, the standard human resources measures of "knowledge, skills, and abilities" generated by job analyses. While there is an abundance of evidence on gender disparities in pay, we know much less in detail about...

I study the association between task content of jobs and mothers' employment transitions after the first birth in Germany. I construct measures of task content of jobs using data from the Employment Survey conducted by the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BiBB)....

Skill mismatch is a key indicator of labour market research that has received significant attention. To date, various approaches of test-based measurement of skill mismatch have been used in research, generating differing results. However, it remains unclear which method is the most valid for...

Using linked vacancy-employer-employee data from Austria, we investigate how monopsony power affects firms' posting behavior and wage negotiations. Consistent with theoretical predictions, we find that firms with greater monopsony power post lower wages and offer fewer non-wage amenities,...

This study maps the DigComp framework (European Digital Competence Framework for citizens) to the skills descriptors of ESCO (European Skills, Competencies, Qualifications and Occupations), the classification of skills which is used in the Skills-OVATE, the database of European online job...

Angesichts der Digitalisierung der Berufswelt wird die Weiterentwicklung der beruflichen Handlungskompetenz des betrieblichen Ausbildungspersonals bedeutsamer. Die Anpassung der Bildungsmöglichkeiten für diese Ziel-gruppe an diese aktuellen Anforderungen ist ein entscheidender Faktor. In...

Drawing on newly available panel data, this paper presents an empirical analysis of the wage effects of changing job tasks, assessed for individuals at their workplace. I am therefore able to exploit within-occupation within-individual variation, over time, to study wage returns to cognitive,...

Technology is disrupting labor markets. We analyze the demand and reward for skills at occupation and state level across two time periods using job postings. First, we use principal components analysis to derive nine skills groups: "collaborative leader", "interpersonal & organized", "big data",...
