Abstract
AbstractThis paper analyses the relationship between the specialization in routine tasks and the growth of low‐skill jobs in Italian provinces. At this aim, we use data of the Italian Labour Force survey and map the US information on tasks content by occupation into a detailed (3 digit) classification of Italian occupations. We find two main results. First, the degree of specialization in routine‐tasks has a positive effect on the growth of low‐skill jobs at province level. Second, the local specialization in routine tasks favours the growth of the graduated workers employed in low‐skill jobs and, then, the over‐education pattern in Italy. Finally, our findings are robust to spatial heterogeneity and endogeneity issues.
