Job Polarization Index and Occupational Distribution in Europe by Level of Skills. Source: Authors’ calculations based on ILO (2013c). The right panel of the figure shows unweighted averages based on data from the following 28 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. High-skill occupations comprise ISCO major groups 1–3, medium-skill occupations include ISCO major groups 4–8 and low-skill occupations are elementary occupations (ISCO major group 9). The value of the index for a given country and year was determined from (5). E.g., the JPI for 2002 is based on the occupational structure in 2002 compared to the average occupational structure in 1997–2001.
