New Tasks in Old Jobs: Drivers of Change and Implications for Job Quality
DigitalCommons@ILR, 2018Co-Authors: Bisello Martina, Fernández-macías Enrique, Eggert Hansen MartinAbstract:This overview report summarises the findings of 20 case studies looking at recent changes in the task content of five Manufacturing Occupations (car assemblers, meat processing workers, hand-packers, chemical products plant and machine operators and inspection engineers) as a result of factors such as digital transformations, globalisation and offshoring, increasing demand for high quality standards and sustainability. It also discusses some implications in terms of job quality and working life. The study reveals that the importance of physical tasks in Manufacturing is generally declining due to automation; that more intensive use of digitally controlled equipment, together with increasing importance of quality standards, involve instead a growing amount of intellectual tasks for manual industrial workers; and that the amount of routine task content is still high in the four manual Occupations studied. Overall, the report highlights how qualitative contextual information can complement existing quantitative data, offering a richer understanding of changes in the content and nature of jobs

human capital externalities or consumption spillovers the effect of high skill human capital across low skill labor markets
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2021Co-Authors: Shimeng Liu, Xi YangAbstract:Abstract Previous studies often interpret the positive impact of high-skill human capital on the mean wages of low-skill workers as evidence of human capital externalities. Using a grouped IV quantile technique, we uncover a distributional wage effect of high-skill human capital that is difficult to reconcile with the standard models of human capital externalities: the city-level share of college graduates has a positive impact on the wages of low-skill workers at the lower, but not the upper, quantiles of the wage distribution. We then provide a comprehensive assessment and discussion of the effect of high-skill human capital on low-skill wages in different Occupations. We find a large and positive wage effect in the service Occupations but not in the Manufacturing Occupations. We argue that consumption spillover, instead of human capital externality, is the underlying mechanism. These findings invite reinterpretation of previous studies on human capital externalities in low-skill labor markets.
