Resumen
Estudiamos los cambios en el empleo por ocupaciones caracterizadas por diferentes grados de exposición a la rutinización en las seis economías más grandes de América Latina durante las últimas dos décadas. Combinamos nuestros propios indicadores de contenido de tareas rutinarias basados en información del Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Competencias de Adultos (PIACC) con microdatos del mercado laboral de encuestas nacionales armonizadas de hogares. Encontramos que el aumento del empleo fue decreciente en la posibilidad de automatizar las tareas típicamente realizadas en cada ocupación: un patrón más consistente con la hipótesis de cambio tecnológico sesgado que con la hipótesis de polarización.
