Abstract Which type of work do Italians perform? In this contribution, we aim at detecting the anatomy of the Italian occupational structure by taking stock of a micro-level dataset registering the task content, the execution of procedures, the knowledge embedded in the work itself, called ICP (Indagine Campionaria sulle Professioni), the latter being comparable to the U.S. O*NET dataset. We perform an extensive empirical investigation moving from the micro to the macro level of aggregation. Our results show that the Italian occupational structure is strongly hierarchical, with the locus of power distinct by the locus of knowledge generation. It is also weak in terms of collaborative and worker involvement practices, and possibility to be creative. Our analysis allows to pinpoint the role exerted by hierarchical structures, decision-making autonomy, and knowledge as the most relevant attributes characterizing the division of labor.

Fair Labor

Community-based vocational education programs come under the jurisdiction of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) administered through the U.S. Department of Labor. This paper describes guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor that detail criteria to be met by education agencies to ensure that educational programs operate in compliance with the FLSA. The paper also describes a process used by the authors to generate questions and answers intended to provide further guidance to education personnel responsible for implementing community-based vocational programs.

This paper compares the occupational structure of cities in Brazil and United States aiming to evaluate the extent to which the economic structure of these urban agglomerations is associated with the different stages of development, specifically when comparing a rich country with a developing one. Using a harmonized occupational database and microdata from the Brazilian 2010 Demographic Census and the U.S. American Community Survey (2008-2012), results show that Brazilian cities have a stronger connection between population size, both with occupational structure and human capital distribution, than the one found for cities in the United States. These findings suggest a stronger primacy of large cities in Brazil’s urban network and a more unequal distribution of economic activity across cities when compared to USA, indicating a strong correlation between development and occupational structure.

Intelligent devices (that is, those containing microprocessors) are becoming ubiquitous in parts of our society which have never before encountered this technology. In order to develop systems for installing and maintaining these devices, vocational trainers and trainees will face unusual demands. The U.S. is expected to adapt and meet these demands more quickly than most industrial and third world nations.
