Digitalisation of occupations-Developing an indicator based on digital skill requirements.

Digitalisation is assumed to have far reaching consequences for workers. So far, these have been analysed using indicators derived from survey data on occupational tasks. Survey-based indicators measure what people do at work but provide little insight into the skills required to perform a task.

Labour market polarisation revisited: evidence from Austrian vacancy data.

Recent research suggests that new technologies are important drivers of empirically observed labour market polarisation. Many analyses in the field of economics are conducted to evaluate the changing share of employment in low-skill, medium-skill and high-skill occupations over time. This occupation-based approach, however, may neglect the relevance of specific skills and skill bundles, which potentially can be used to explain the observable patterns of labour market polarisation.

Digital inequality in Austria: Empirical evidence from the survey of the OECD "Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies".

Digitisation and rapidly emerging new technologies are transforming many aspects of life such as education, work, and leisure. These changes lead to a growing demand for new skills related to ICT use, computer literacy, internet use, or technical digital skills. However, the extensive literature on digital inequality provides evidence for significant differences in computer skills along the usual dimensions of social inequality.
