论文摘要
敦促全球劳动力不断重新策划，因为技术变革偏爱特定的新技能，同时使他人多余。但是，哪些技能对工人和公司来说是一项不错的投资？由于技能很少孤立地应用，我们建议互补性强烈决定技能的经济价值。对于962个技能，我们证明了它们的价值是由互补性强烈决定的 - 也就是说，有多少不同的技能，理想的是高价值，可以与能力相结合。我们表明，技能的价值是相对的，因为这取决于工人的技能背景。对于大多数技能，与其他类型的技能结合使用时，其价值最高。我们使用与人工智能（AI）有关的一组技能进行了测试。我们发现，AI技能特别有价值 - 由于近年来他们的强大互补性和需求不断增长，因此工人的工资平均增加了21％。我们工作的模型和指标可以为减少劳动力市场不匹配的数字化重新技能的政策和实践提供信息。与数据和教育提供者合作，研究人员和政策制定者应考虑使用此蓝图为学习者提供个性化的技能建议，以补充其现有能力并适合其职业背景。
The global workforce is urged to constantly reskill, as technological change favours particular new skills while making others redundant. But which skills are a good investment for workers and firms? As skills are seldomly applied in isolation, we propose that complementarity strongly determines a skill's economic value. For 962 skills, we demonstrate that their value is strongly determined by complementarity - that is, how many different skills, ideally of high value, a competency can be combined with. We show that the value of a skill is relative, as it depends on the skill background of the worker. For most skills, their value is highest when used in combination with skills of a different type. We put our model to the test with a set of skills related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). We find that AI skills are particularly valuable - increasing worker wages by 21% on average - because of their strong complementarities and their rising demand in recent years. The model and metrics of our work can inform the policy and practice of digital re-skilling to reduce labour market mismatches. In cooperation with data and education providers, researchers and policy makers should consider using this blueprint to provide learners with personalised skill recommendations that complement their existing capacities and fit their occupational background.
