Excerpt of the Introduction:
Digital technologies transform not only work tasks, but also the skills needed to perform these tasks. In particular, shifts in skill requirements affect labor market outcomes – be it at the macro level, shifts in employment and wage inequality, or at the micro level, unemployment risks and wage losses or gains in workers’ careers. The main objectives of this chapter are to critically review research on the link between digitalization and labor market change and to empirically illustrate two unattended components of changing skill demand, namely shifts in skill profiles and the respective within- and between-occupation changes.
