?:abstract
  • Since 1980, labor markets became increasingly polarized: occupations in the middle of the wage distribution (routine occupations) tend to disappear, and are replaced by low-wage occupations (manual occupations) and high-wage occupations (abstract occupations). In the US flexible labor market, the decrease of routine occupations has been compensated by massive creation of low-paying occupations, and polarization only had a very limited impact on employment levels. This is not necessarily the case in rigid wage European countries in which the creation of such low-paying jobs is more difficult, given the institutional environment. We study the effect of the reduction of the proportion of routine jobs on the employment rate and the participation rate, conditionally on the value of the minimum wage, using local labor markets from the European Union Labor Force Survey on 8 countries which have a national minimum wage. Our OLS and IV estimates indicate that the disappearance of routine jobs has a negative impact on labor market outcomes in high-minimum wage countries due to an insufficient creation of low-paid occupations. Impact on participation is positive for low minimum wage countries, as labor supply may increase in order to compensate the deterioration of labor market opportunities. (xsd:string)
