Abstract

The current document examines the transformations of the Spanish labour market -as a consequence of the employment polarisation process- . It also analyses how the occupational structure based on the risk of automation of each group can evolve. The results show that the polarisation of the Spanish labour market correlates, on the one hand, positively with the automation of routine content tasks and, on the other, negatively with educational and salary levels.
