This book, edited by Carlos Gradín, Piotr Lewandowski, Simone Schotte, and Kunal Sen, investigates the trends in earnings inequalities in developing countries to determine the main drivers, focusing on structural and occupational changes. It includes a cross-country analysis and country case studies of 11 low- or middle-income countries that have experienced strong transformations. In the cross-country chapter. In the cross-country chapter, Piotr Lewandowski, Albert Park, and Simone Schotte studied the evolution of country-specific routine task intensity of occupations for 87 countries that cover 75% of global employment and presented stylized facts on the global divergence in the de-routinisation of jobs.
The dataset with country-specific routine task intensity of occupations is available below.
