We examine the link between labour market developments and new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and software in 16 European countries over the period 2011- 2019. Using data for occupations at the 3-digit level in Europe, we find that on average employment shares have increased...

Improved maternal health alleviated the adverse effects of pregnancy and childbirth on women's ability to...
