The literature on the automation-employment nexus has expanded significantly and rapidly over the last decade, highlighting both a contraction in employment, wages, and the labour share, as well as an increase in wage inequalities. Drawing on a large-scale analysis of all European (EU27 + UK) NUTS2 regions during the period 2011-2019, this paper re-examines these claims and highlights a decoupling between wage and income inequalities. This decoupling may be driven by reallocation effects across sectors and ripple effects that induce substantial downward pressure on wages.

Abstract
The literature on the automation-employment nexus has expanded significantly and rapidly over the last decade, highlighting both a contraction in employment, wages, and the labour share, as well as an increase in wage inequalities. Drawing on a large-scale analysis of all European (EU27 + UK) NUTS2 regions during the period 2011-2019, this paper re-examines these claims and highlights a decoupling between wage and income inequalities. This decoupling may be driven by reallocation effects across sectors and ripple effects that induce substantial downward pressure on wages.File in questo prodotto:
