We analyze the changes in the task content of jobs in 24 European countries between 1998 and 2015. We link the O*NET occupational data with the European Union Labour Force Survey (EU†LFS), and use the methodology of Acemoglu and Autor (). We find that the intensity of non†routine cognitive tasks grew in all countries, while the intensity of manual tasks declined. Workforce upskilling was the major factor contributing to these developments. The intensity of routine cognitive tasks grew in most Central and Eastern European countries, but it declined in Western European countries. This difference is attributed to the contrasting patterns of structural changes in these groups of countries.

欧洲的教育升级，结构改革和工作任务构成

我们分析了1998年至2015年欧洲24个国家/地区的工作任务内容变化。我们将O * NET职业数据与欧盟劳动力调查（EU LFS）联系起来，并使用Acemoglu和Autor（）的方法。我们发现，所有国家中非常规认知任务的强度都在增加，而手动任务的强度却在下降。劳动力技能提升是促成这些发展的主要因素。在大多数中欧和东欧国家，例行认知任务的强度有所增加，但在西欧国家却有所下降。这种差异归因于这些国家组中结构变化的对比模式。
