Eunha Kim, Ahreum Hong, Junseok Hwang

This study find evidence for RBTC in Korea from 1993 to 2015, using panel analysis. The change employment structure shows decline in middle-skilled group and concurrent rise in high-and low-skilled groups. The empirical result confirms that routine intensive occupations are more vulnerable to job loss.
