The grey shades of green jobs: Unpacking the occupational approach to green employment
The geography of artificial intelligence in European regions: Innovation, exposure and use
This paper maps the geography of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, exposure and use across European Union (EU) NUTS-2 regions using six complementary indicators. Findings reveal a spatial paradox: while AI exposure and worker-level use are relatively widespread, innovation and firm-level adoption remain concentrated in high gross domestic product (GDP), human capital-intensive hubs. A persistent implementation gap separates structural expo…
Feminization, Ageing, and Occupational Change in Europe in the Last 25 Years
This paper presents new evidence on the interaction between demographic and occupational change in Europe over the last 25 years. We use data from the European Union Labour Force Survey covering six European countries. The analysis is based on a cross‐sectional comparison between the population and employment distributions in 1995 and 2019. This strategy allows us to study the changing demographic dynamics, which have brought a more feminized, ag…
Routinization of work processes, de-routinization of job structures
This article investigates changes in routine tasks and computer use in European jobs in the period 1995-2015, putting them in the context of the debates on the future of work and the impact of automation. Digital technologies not only affect employment shifts but also shape work organization. A shift-share analysis combining European Working Conditions Survey and European Labour Force Survey data assesses to what extent recent changes in tasks ar…
A Comprehensive Taxonomy of Tasks for Assessing the Impact of New Technologies on Work
In recent years, the increasing concern about the labour market implications of technological change has led economists to look in more detail at the structure of work content and job tasks. Incorporating insights from other traditions of task analysis, in particular from the labour process approach, as well as from recent research on skills, work organisation and occupational change, in this paper we propose a comprehensive and detailed taxonomy…

Routine-biased technical change and job polarization in Europe
In this article, we critically discuss the hypothesis linking routine-biased technical change and job polarization. First, we put it in the context of earlier debates on the impact of technology on the employment structure and job quality, discussing the difficulties of the concept of routine used in this new literature and its operationalization. Then, using our own operationalization of tasks, we argue that routine tasks are not associated with…
Employment and Occupational Mobility among Recently Arrived Immigrants: The Spanish Case 1997–2007
La interferencia entre el estatus familiar y las características individuales en el nacimiento del primer hijo tras la emigración a España
El objetivo del trabajo es analizar los factores que afectan el nacimiento del primer hijo tras la migración. En particular, nos centramos en las condiciones familiares y en las características sociodemográficas de las mujeres migrantes a la llegada a España. La hipótesis general es que el comportamiento reproductivo después de migrar está íntimamente relacionado con la situación a la llegada. A la vez, consideramos que las diferentes situaciones…
Job Polarization in Europe? Changes in the Employment Structure and Job Quality, 1995-2007
In recent years, a number of academic papers have argued that over the last couple of decades, technical change has had a polarizing impact on the employment structure of advanced capitalist economies with a relative expansion of jobs occupying the top and bottom of the wage/skills hierarchy and the middle shrinking. In this article, we present alternative evidence on the nature of change in European employment structures between 1995 and 2007, a…
Measuring More than Money: The Social Economics of Job Quality
Job quality is a crucial link between the economy and well-being. This original book proves that it can and should be measured, proposing a theoretically based multidimensional ‘Index of Job Quality’ that is tested in the EU member States. The index proves particularly useful to measure the differences in job quality by country, occupation, gender and age.
E pluribus unum? A critical survey of job quality indicators
In recent years, there has been growing concern in Europe about the lack of an established comparable measure of job quality to complement the widely accepted quantitative indicators in the formulation and evaluation of European employment policies. The aim of this paper is to offer a guided tour around the different views and existing proposals of job quality indicators, mainly from a European perspective. First, we discuss the methodological de…
Una aproximación sociológica al fenómeno del software libre
En los últimos años ha surgido en el mundo de la informática una alternativa desmercantilizada (conocida como Software Libré) al sistema de propiedad intelectual y de mercado de programas informáticos que está consiguiendo un importante y sorprendente éxito. En este trabajo se trata de explicar las causas de este éxito desde una perspectiva sociológica. El modelo propuesto, construido a través de un análisis del origen y desarrollo de esta altern…
