Abstract: This study first provides evidence compatible with the employment polarization hypothesis in the Greek labour market since the early 1990s. Then, using an instrumental variables approach, it uncovers the potential role of routine biased technological change in explaining the “hollowing out” of the employment structure. The empirical results consistently suggest that employment has polarized more into regions with a higher initial routine share. Overall, the impact of technology on the employment rate is negligible, implying that the expansion of non-routine employment at the bottom end of the occupational distribution fully compensates for the destruction of jobs in routine occupations.
