Country-specific routine task intensity of occupations for 102 countries

This dataset includes country-specific level routine task intensity (RTI) measures by occupations at the 1- and 2-digit levels of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). It combines survey-based estimates of RTI, developed by Lewandowski et al. (WBER 2022), and regression-based predictions for countries without required survey data, developed by Lewandowski, Schotte, and Park (2023). The dataset covers 102 countries across the development spectrum.
