Abstract

this paper investigates the relation between educational mismatches and individual unemployment risk in italy with a special focus on the role of technological change and labour demand characteristics. a novel dataset obtained merging two surveys (icp and plus) is used to build different measures of educational mismatch and a measure of routine intensity on italy: the routine task index. the latter takes into account the effect of routine biased technical change (rbtc) in determining educational mismatches and unemployment risk. the results indicate that over−education is significantly associated with higher unemployment risk. educational mismatches, routine biased technological change and unemployment: evidence from italy piero esposito sergio scicchitano
