Piotr Lewandowski gave a keynote titled “Beyond Occupations: Measuring Tasks and Skills in Modern Labor Markets”. In his talk, he explained why labour market data must move beyond occupations to tasks, showed how labour market surveys and information systems can be modernised to better capture technological change and new forms of work, and presented new evidence on cross-country differences in workers’ exposure to emerging technologies.
