Kurzbeschreibung
T.A.S.K.S. 2 (Technology, Assets, Skills, Knowledge, Specialisati on) Second Internati onal BIBB/IAB Workshop
Following up the first international workshop on the task-based approach, the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) are very pleased to announce T.A.S.K.S. 2 at BIBB in Bonn.
The task-based framework has proven to be of high potential in understanding recent labour market trends in the US, such as trends in wages, skill demand change and employment shifts. It provides a systematic approach to the study of interactions between technology, tasks and skills in modern labour markets. A rapidly increasing number of studies successfully apply the framework to labour market trends in other industrialised countries. The task approach, moreover, has found application as an organising framework in related fields such as immigration and international off-shoring studies.
This workshop invites empirical and theoretical contributions using the task-based approach from all areas of labour market research, and from related fields such as sociology and economics of vocational education and training, industrial economics, international comparisons, public finance, or stratification research.
The scientific committee encourages contributions focusing on the role of job tasks in explaining (cross-) country changes in wages, occupational structures and skill demand, on worker heterogeneity in job tasks, on social and economic outcomes of the changing skill demand, on regional and international aspects of these trends, e.g. the trade in tasks, and on the measurement of tasks. Moreover, papers are welcome that employ the interaction of task changes and organisational change, the role of education and labour market institutions, and labour market imperfections.
