    Kügler, Agnes, Andreas Reinstaller & Bernhard Dachs (2019): Digitalisierung der österreichischen Wirtschaft im internationalen Vergleich. In: Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung. Monatsberichte, Jg. 92, H. 9, S. 663-673.

    Abstract

    "Der Einsatz digitaler Technologien hat das Potential, die Effizienz und Effektivität von Produktionsprozessen zu steigern und damit die Wirtschaftsleistung eines Landes zu beeinflussen. Wie ein Vergleich mit den innovationsführenden Ländern der EU zeigt, ist der österreichische IKT-Produktionssektor klein, in Bezug auf technologische Innovation und Wirtschaftsleistung aber leistungsfähig. Gemessen an den Patentanmeldungen gilt dies besonders im Bereich der Informations- und Kommunikationsgeräte. Auch die Weitergabe von Wissen über digitale Technologien funktioniert in vielen Bereichen gut. Unternehmen wenden diese im europäischen Vergleich aber etwas zögerlich an, wobei hier einerseits ein Unterschied zwischen der Sachgütererzeugung und dem Dienstleistungsbereich besteht, andererseits die Branchenstruktur Einfluss auf die Art der eingesetzten Technologie hat."

    Lambert, Marion (2019): Employee training 2.0: the lever effect of ICTs. (Training and Employment 139), 4 S.

    Abstract

    "Enhancing access to and the use and quality of ICTs is one of the 11 thematic objectives of the European Union's cohesion policy for the period 2014-2020. In France, more than eight out of every ten employees use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their work, but to varying extents and with very different user profiles. The heaviest users of ICTs are more likely to access organised training and also benefit from the stimulating effect of ICTs on informal learning. Thus pinpointing the influence of ICTs on the various modes of learning at work is one of the possible ways of preparing for the digital transition." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Langes, Barbara & Elisabeth Vogl (2019): Arbeit in der Informationsökonomie. In: A. Boes & B. Langes (Hrsg.) (2019): Die Cloud und der digitale Umbruch in Wirtschaft und Arbeit : Strategien, Best Practices und Gestaltungsimpulse, S. 147-172.

    Abstract

    Die Autorinnen fokussieren in ihrem Beitrag auf die neuen Konzepte der Organisation von Arbeit in den Unternehmen. Sie zeigen auf, dass sich in der Cloud die Konturen eines neuen Organisationsmodells abzeichnen, das sich grundlegend vom bisherigen fordistisch-bürokratischen Produktionsmodell unterscheidet, beschreiben dessen Prinzipien und reflektieren die Herausforderungen für eine zukünftige Gestaltung der Arbeitswelt. Vier Prinzipien kennzeichnen die neue Form der Organisation von Arbeit: 1. Plattformen als Organisationsinstanzen von Arbeit; 2. Agile Konzepte der Organisation von Arbeit; 3. Informatisierte Leistungssteuerung und 4. die Kultur 'permanenter Innovation'. Für die Zukunft der Arbeit konstatieren die Autorinnen, dass Chancen und Risiken nah beieinander liegen und kommen zu dem Schluss, 'dass die digitale Arbeitswelt im Sinne der Menschen gestaltet werden kann. Dafür braucht es Mut und eine Leitorientierung, die den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt stellt.' (IAB)

    Lehdonvirta, Vili (2019): Der Aufstieg von Online-Arbeitsmärkten: Freelancing und Gig-Working über Internetplattformen. In: IAB-Forum H. 04.04.2019, o. Sz., 2019-03-27.

    Abstract

    "Kuriere für Essenslieferungen aus der Gig-Work-App sind in vielen europäischen Städten zum vertrauten Anblick geworden. Es gibt aber auch eine vollständig digitale Version plattformvermittelter anspruchsvoller Arbeit. Beim Online-Gig-Working können Selbstständige komplette Projekte aus der Ferne für Kunden erledigen, die sie online über Arbeitsvermittlungsplattformen beauftragt haben. Studien zeigen, dass in Europa etwa gleich viele Personen Gig-Tätigkeiten online und lokal ausführen, dennoch unterscheiden sich die beiden Formen wesentlich. Die Online-Gig-Economy ist länderübergreifend und umfasst das komplette Spektrum beruflicher Fertigkeiten, von Dateneingabe bis zu Softwareentwicklung. Damit bietet sich ein interessanter Ausblick auf die Zukunft von Qualifikationen, sozialer Sicherung und auf die Beziehungen zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern in Europa."

    The Automatisation Challenge Meets the Demographic Challenge: In Need of Higher Productivity Growth (2019)

    Leitner, Sandra M. & Robert Stehrer (2019): The Automatisation Challenge Meets the Demographic Challenge: In Need of Higher Productivity Growth. (WIIW working paper 171), Wien, 24 S.

    Abstract

    "The future of employment and labour demand growth in the dawning era of intelligent robots and other new technologies is heavily debated. This paper argues that this discussion needs to be complemented by a second trend which has been unfolding in Europe for some time, namely the demographic decline. Various demographic scenarios for many EU countries point towards a significant decline in the working-age population in the near future which puts the functioning of labour markets at risk as labour shortages become increasingly more likely and subsequently threaten economic growth. In this context, this paper gives an overview of recent trends in the growth of real value added, labour productivity and employment as well as of demographic scenarios. Based on these trends, the hypothetical increase of labour productivity growth which would be required to keep real GDP growth at its current level, despite the projected reduction in the workforce, is calculated. Results show that the hypothetical labour productivity growth rate required is about one percentage point higher than the actual growth rate, suggesting that the current labour productivity growth rate in the EU needs to more than double. A complementary econometric analysis shows that even though robots exhibit a positive impact on labour productivity growth, this is not (yet) strong enough to close the gap between the recent and the hypothetical labour productivity trend growth rate which would be required. Disclaimer The paper has been written as part of the DG ECFIN FELLOWSHIP-INITIATIVE 2018-2019 The productivity challenge jobs and incomes in the dawning era of intelligent robots, Ref. 2018 ECFIN 005/B and can also be downloaded from the European Commission's website."

    Skills-displacing technological change and its impact on jobs: challenging technological alarmism? (2019)

    McGuinness, Seamus, Konstantinos Pouliakas & Paul Redmond (2019): Skills-displacing technological change and its impact on jobs. Challenging technological alarmism? (IZA discussion paper 12541), Bonn, 28 S.

    Abstract

    "We use data from a new international dataset - the European Skills and Jobs Survey - to create a unique measure of skills-displacing technological change (SDT), defined as technological change that may render workers' skills obsolete. We find that 16 percent of adult workers in the EU are impacted by SDT, with significant variance across countries, ranging from a high of 28 percent in Estonia, to below seven percent in Bulgaria. Despite claims that technological change contributes to the deskilling of jobs, we present evidence that SDT is associated with dynamic upskilling of workers. The paper also presents the first direct micro-evidence of the reinstatement effect of automating technology, namely a positive contribution of automation to the task content and skills complexity of the jobs of incumbent workers. Despite the recent focus on the polarising impact of automation and associated reskilling needs of lower-skilled individuals, our evidence also draws attention to the fact that SDT predominantly affects higher-skilled workers, reinforcing inequalities in upskilling opportunities within workplaces. Workers affected by SDT also experience greater job insecurity." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    Der Autor weist auf den Widerspruch zwischen Ängsten über eine durch Digitalisierung und Automatisierung hervorgerufene Massenarbeitslosigkeit und einer für Deutschland und andere Industrieländer empirisch zu beobachtenden langfristigen Verlangsamung des Wachstums der Arbeitsproduktivität hin. Er betont, dass es neben negativen auch positive Seiten der Digitalisierung gibt, wie z.B. eine effizientere Energie- und Ressourcennutzung oder eine passgenauere Erfüllung individueller Bedürfnisse. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit Frey und Osborne, die fast jeden zweiten Arbeitsplatz für akut gefährdet halten, plädiert er für eine weniger alarmistische Sichtweise: 'Die Jobs verschwinden nicht, sondern die Tätigkeiten ändern sich.' Die zentrale Gefahr der digitalen Revolution sieht der Autor weniger in negativen Beschäftigungseffekten als in den Verteilungswirkungen. (IAB)

    The Polarization Myth: Occupational upgrading in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, 1992 - 2015 (2019)

    Oesch, Daniel & Giorgio Piccitto (2019): The Polarization Myth. Occupational upgrading in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, 1992 - 2015. In: Work and occupations, Jg. 46, H. 4, S. 441-469. DOI:10.1177/0730888419860880

    Abstract

    "The consensus view in economics is that labor markets are polarizing as job creation takes place in high-skilled and low-skilled occupations, while jobs shrink in midskilled ones. The authors argue that, in theoretical terms, polarization runs counter to all the trends that shaped the job structure over the past decades: skill-biased technological change, the international division of labor, and educational expansion. The authors then show that the polarization thesis does not hold empirically. They use the European Labor Force Survey to analyze occupational change for Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom from 1992 to 2015 and define good and bad occupations with four alternative indicators of job quality: earnings, education, prestige, and job satisfaction. Job growth was by far strongest in occupations with high job quality and weakest in occupations with low job quality, regardless of the indicator used. The authors find clear-cut occupational upgrading for Germany, Spain, and Sweden. In the United Kingdom, the data support the polarization thesis when job quality is measured with earnings. If job quality is defined with education, prestige, or job satisfaction, the results show occupational upgrading. In all four countries, production workers and office clerks lost ground, whereas employment strongly expanded in the salaried (upper) middle class among managers and professionals."

    Automation and occupational wage trends: what role for unions and collective bargaining? (2019)

    Parolin, Zachary (2019): Automation and occupational wage trends. What role for unions and collective bargaining? (OECD social, employment and migration working papers 228), Paris, 48 S. DOI:10.1787/596b32ce-en

    Abstract

    "Routine-biased technological change has emerged as a leading explanation for the differential wage growth of routine occupations, such as manufacturers or office clerks, relative to less routine occupations. Less clear, however, is how the effects of technological advancement on occupational wage trends vary across political-institutional context. This paper investigates the extent to which collective bargaining agreements and union coverage shape the relative wage growth of automatable occupations. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study and the United States Current Population Survey, I measure the 'routine task intensity' of occupations across 15 OECD Member States and the 50 United States from the 1980s onward. Findings suggest that bargaining coverage is more consequential for the wage growth of high routine occupations relative to less routine occupations, and that high routine occupations lose coverage at a faster rate when bargaining coverage at the national level declines. As a result, declines in bargaining coverage within a country are associated with declining relative wage growth for automatable occupations. Estimates suggest that had union coverage in the United States not declined from 1984 levels, the earnings of high routine occupations might have grown at the same rate as low pay occupations between 1984 and 2015, rather than experiencing a relative wage decline. However, the findings also suggest that gains in the relative wage growth may increasingly come at the cost of reduced employment shares of automatable occupations."

    Innovation, automation, and inequality: Policy challenges in the race against the machine (2019)

    Prettner, Klaus & Holger Strulik (2019): Innovation, automation, and inequality: Policy challenges in the race against the machine. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 320), Maastricht, 35 S.

    Abstract

    "We analyze the effects of R&D-driven automation on economic growth, education, and inequality when high-skilled workers are complements to machines and low-skilled workers are substitutes for machines. The model predicts that innovation-driven growth leads to an increasing population share of college graduates, increasing income and wealth inequality, and a declining labor share. We use the model to analyze the effects of redistribution. We show that it is difficult to improve income of low-skilled individuals as long as both technology and education are endogenous. This is true irrespective of whether redistribution is financed by progressive wage taxation or by a robot tax. Only when higher education is stationary, redistribution unambiguously benefits the poor. We show that education subsidies affect the economy differently depending on their mode of funding and that they may actually reduce education. Finally, we extend the model by fair wage concerns and show how automation could induce involuntary low-skilled unemployment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Ravenelle, Alexandrea J. (2019): Hustle and Gig. Struggling and surviving in the sharing economy. Oakland: University of California Press, 273 S.

    Abstract

    "Choose your hours, choose your work, be your own boss, control your own income. Welcome to the sharing economy, a nebulous collection of online platforms and apps that promise to transcend capitalism. Supporters argue that the gig economy will reverse economic inequality, enhance worker rights, and bring entrepreneurship to the masses. But does it? In Hustle and Gig, Alexandrea J. Ravenelle shares the personal stories of nearly eighty predominantly millennial workers from Airbnb, Uber, TaskRabbit, and Kitchensurfing. Their stories underline the volatility of working in the gig economy: the autonomy these young workers expected has been usurped by the need to maintain algorithm-approved acceptance and response rates. The sharing economy upends generations of workplace protections such as worker safety; workplace protections around discrimination and sexual harassment; the right to unionize; and the right to redress for injuries. Discerning three types of gig economy Workers - Success Stories, who have used the gig economy to create the life they want; Strugglers, who can’t make ends meet; and Strivers, who have stable jobs and use the sharing economy for extra cash - Ravenelle examines the costs, benefits, and societal impact of this new economic movement. Poignant and evocative, Hustle and Gig exposes how the gig economy is the millennial’s version of minimum-wage precarious work." (Publisher's text, IAB-Doku)

    What are the effects of technology shocks on international labor markets? (2019)

    Zitatform

    Rujin, Svetlana (2019): What are the effects of technology shocks on international labor markets? (Ruhr economic papers 806), Essen, 47 S.

    Abstract

    "How do international labor markets respond to a technology shock and what is the main transmission channel across countries with different labor market institutions? To answer these questions, I identify technology shocks using the approach of Galí (1999) and decompose the responses of total hours worked into movements along the extensive and the intensive margins. Overall, my analysis shows that technology shocks have a negative effect on total hours. This effect is stronger in countries with flexible labor markets, where the adjustment takes place along both margins. In contrast, the responses of total hours are smaller in countries with strict labor market legislation, where labor adjustment takes place along the intensive margin. These differences can be linked to the strictness of institutions that target quantity and price adjustments in the labor market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Globalisierung und Digitalisierung sind anhaltende Megatrends der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung. Sie haben Einfluss auf Tätigkeits- und somit Kompetenzanforderungen an die Beschäftigten. Im Beitrag wird explorativ anhand aktueller österreichischer Unternehmensdaten aufgezeigt, dass Firmen die Herausforderung (und Chancen) von Digitalisierung und Globalisierung in unterschiedlichen Schneidungen/Konstellationen ergreifen.
    Diese unterschiedliche betriebliche Realisierung hat auch gewisse Effekte auf die Kompetenzanforderungen der Beschäftigten: zumeist im Sinne unterschiedlicher Bedeutungszunahmen der Kompetenzen (und weniger als Bedeutungsrückgang - oder gar Wegfallen - von Kompetenzen).
    Zudem sind in etlichen Unternehmen kumulierende Effekte von Globalisierung und Digitalisierung hinsichtlich der zukünftigen Kompetenzanforderungen an die Beschäftigten beobachtbar: Firmen, die sowohl auf Globalisierung als auch auf Digitalisierung setzen, um die betriebliche Effizienz/Produktivität zu steigern, haben die höchsten Kompetenzanforderungen. Im Beitrag werden mögliche Konsequenzen aus diesen Befunden für die österreichische Berufsbildung angerissen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "We provide comprehensive evidence on the consequences of automation and offshoreability on the labor market career of unemployed workers. Using almost two decades of administrative data for Austria, we find that risk of automation is reducing the job finding probability; a problem which has increased over the past years. We show that this development is associated with increasing re-employment wages and job stability. For workers in occupations at risk of being offshored we find the opposite effect. Our results imply a trade-off between quantity and quality in these jobs. Provided training is in general beneficial for workers in automation-related jobs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Digitalisation reforms have become increasingly pervasive across European welfare agencies and public sector institutions. As welfare provision becomes premised on the use of digital technologies, often in the form of 'self-service' solutions, new demands are imposed on citizens, including already disadvantaged groups. Although existing research has showcased how digitalisation often reproduces existing lines of stratification, little to no work has been conducted on such processes in the context of welfare provision and public administration. Through a study of citizen service centres in Denmark, based on ethnographic observations and qualitative interviews, this article analyses the new exclusionary mechanisms that emerge at the frontline of the digital agenda. The article argues that digitalised welfare agencies simultaneously sustain existing lines of social stratification and enhance these by producing new forms of digital exclusion. Taken together, the article contributes with new knowledge on the impact of digitalisation policies and their exclusionary consequences for disadvantaged citizens."

    Abstract

    "Imagine you're looking for a job. The company you are applying to says you can have a much easier application process if you provide them with your username and password for your personal email account. They can then just scan all your emails and develop a personality profile based on the result. No need to waste time filling out a boring questionnaire and, because it's much harder to manipulate all your past emails than to try to give the 'correct' answers to a questionnaire, the results of the email scan will be much more accurate and truthful than any conventional personality profiling. Wouldn't that be great? Everyone wins -- the company looking for new personnel, because they can recruit people on the basis of more accurate profiles, you, because you save time and effort and don't end up in a job you don't like, and the company offering the profiling service because they have a cool new business model.
    When our colleagues in Finland told us that such a service actually exists, our jaws dropped. We didn't want to believe it, and it wasn't reassuring at all to hear the company claimed that basically no candidate ever declined to comply with such a request. And, of course, it is all perfectly legal because job-seekers give their informed consent to open up their email to analysis -- if you believe the company, that is. When we asked the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman about it, he wasn't so sure. He informed us that his lawyers were still assessing the case, but that it would take a couple of weeks before he could give his opinion. Since this came to light just before we had to go to press with this publication, please go to our website to discover what his final assessment is." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Labour markets, trade and technological progress: A meta-study (2019)

    Terzidis, Nikos, Steven Brakman & Raquel Ortega-Argiles (2019): Labour markets, trade and technological progress: A meta-study. (CESifo working paper 7719), München, 47 S.

    Abstract

    "Technological progress and trade potentially affect wages and employment. Technological progress can make jobs obsolete and trade can increase unemployment in import competing sectors. Empirical evidence suggests that both causes are important to explain recent labour market developments in many OECD countries. Both causes are often mentioned in tandem, but the relative contribution of each cause is less clear. This study presents a meta-analysis to shed light on the relative contribution of technological progress and trade in recent labour market developments and allows us to identify the winners and losers of automation and globalization. Using a sample of 77 studies and 1158 estimates, we find that both effects are important. Automation is beneficial at the firm level, and is more likely to displace low-skilled employment. Trade is more likely to benefit high-skilled employment and affects industry negatively. Somewhat surprisingly, given the consensus in the literature, automation has a positive effect for estimates considering the period before 1995, and trade a negative effect. We also find some evidence of publication biases." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This paper exploits variations in the timing of telecommunications reforms across Europe to investigate the relationship between the rise of alternative work arrangements and the emergence of the Internet. We evaluate whether sectors that are technologically more dependent on information and communication technologies (ICT) experienced disproportionately larger changes in their employment outcomes after telecommunications reforms were introduced. Our main results point to a disproportionate increase in total employment, part-time work and home-based work among ICT-dependent sectors after the implementation of telecommunications reforms. These results suggest that telecommunications reforms affected labour market arrangements by fostering the adoption of ICT. The results are robust to several specifications."

    Vereycken, Yennef & Miet Lamberts (2019): Grenzen zwischen abhängiger und atypischer Beschäftigung in Europa. Düren: Shaker, 104 S.

    Abstract

    "Zahlreiche neue Beschäftigungsformen sind in Europa in den letzten Jahren insbesondere durch die technologischen Neuerungen der Digitalisierung entstanden. Diese sind gekennzeichnet durch ein Verschwimmen der Grenzen auf mehreren Ebenen: zwischen Beruf und Privatleben, zwischen abhängiger und selbständiger Arbeit, zwischen Verbraucher und Erzeuger, zwischen den Rollen des Arbeitgebers und des Auftraggebers. Das Forschungsprojekt von HIVA - Onderzoeksinstituut voor Arbeid en Samenleving, das in Zusammenhang mit Seminarreihen des Europäischen Zentrums für Arbeitnehmerfragen (EZA) zur Digitalisierung der Arbeit stand, hatte das folgende Ziel: neue im Zusammenhang mit der Digitalisierung entstandene Beschäftigungsformen zu analysieren, ihre Folgen für die Arbeitnehmer/innen abzuschätzen und Eckpunkte für gewerkschaftliches Handeln zu ermitteln. Die zentrale Erkenntnis dabei war: Arbeitnehmerorganisationen in Europa - so zeigten auch die Beispiele einer Online-Umfrage unter EZA-Mitgliedorganisationen - müssen ihr traditionelles Handlungsfeld und ihre herkömmlichen Methoden erweitern, um Arbeitnehmer/innen in den neuen Beschäftigungsformen erfolgreich vernetzen und vertreten zu können."
