We analyse the content of Italian occupations operating in about 600 sectors with a focus on dimensions that expose workers to risks during COVID-19 epidemics. leverage detailed information from ICP, equivalent O*Net and find several need physical proximity operate: employed whose index is above national average are more than 6.5 million (mostly retail trade). Groups at risk complications (mainly male age 50) work little exposed proximity, currently under lockdown or can remotely. The...

We analyse the content of Italian occupations operating in about 600 sectors with a focus on dimensions that expose workers to contagion risks during COVID-19 epidemics. To do so we leverage extremely detailed and granular information from ICP, equivalent O*Net. find several need physical proximity operate: employed Italy whose index is above national average are more than 6.5 million (most them retail trade). Groups at risk complications (mainly male age 50) work little exposed proximity,...

This work investigates the impact that changes in exposure to robots had on Italian local employment dynamics over period 2011-2018. A novel empirical strategy focusing a match between occupations' activities and robots' applications at high level of disaggregation makes it possible assess robotization shares workers employed as robot operators occupations deemed exposed robots. In framework consistently centered workers' activities, rather than their industries, analysis reveals for first...
