Abstract
This chapter focuses on the supply-side of the labour market – on workers and their qualifications. It argues that firms do not adopt new technologies independently from the type of labour available on the job market. Rather, they will resort to different production techniques and create jobs in different occupations, depending on whether highly educated or low educated workers abound in a given region. This chapter analyzes the role of skills supplies by first documenting educational expansion and showing that Europe's skill structure evolved in parallel with occupational upgrading. It then looks at immigration and reveals that strong migratory surges in Britain and Spain created the labour supply necessary to fill low-paid jobs. Finally, it explains the mechanism through which occupational change comes about over time: through both changes in people’s occupational trajectories and the process of cohort renewal.
