Informaion technologies and labour market polarizaion in canada (on courselink) Abstract: a key issue in recent debates over the impact of new technologies on work is the polarizaion of good and bad jobs within the post-industrial economy. Two dimensions-skill and earnings-have been of central concern. Social survey, we examine computer use in canada, and analyze its impact on job earnings and skill. Our indings do not support a technology-based explanaion of polarizaion within the labour market as a whole. Instead, worker characterisics and occupaional condiions are far more important, although there is some evidence of computer-related skill diferences within similar groupings of occupaions.
