Abstract

This paper analyze the relationship between the task content of occupations and its trajectory along the last economic cycle in Spain. After identifying through a synthesis of the specialized literature which are the task that are more sensitive to changes in the demand side of the employment, two objectives are addressed: see if the intensity of the different tasks (routine, creativity, social tasks) within occupations is related positively or negatively with its growth and analyze which one of this attributes explains a greater part of the variance of the dependent variable (the growth of the occupations). This analysis offers novel results that contribute to clarify which theory explain better the dynamics of the labor market in Spain in the last decades.
