The paper aims to produce an approximation of the impact of technological change on the labor market. The paper uses the definition of an indicator that captures the relative importance of four types of tasks, cognitive/manual and routine/nonroutine, based on the information provided by Occupational Information Network and household surveys. The analysis finds that in the last two decades the relative importance of cognitive tasks in the workplace has increased in line with the reduction of manual tasks, particularly among the youngest cohorts. 2017-10-20T21:18:51Z 2017-10-20T21:18:51Z 2017-10 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/171901507816912979/Technological-change-and-the-labor-market-in-Argentina-and-Uruguay-a-task-content-analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28550 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8215 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Argentina Uruguay
