VSECAT
VSECAT (Variables Sociales y Económicas, Computerización, Automatización y Teletrabajo — Social and Economic Variables, Computerization, Automation and Telework) is a research database designed to analyze how digitalization and automation influence labour markets and socio-economic structures across European Union countries.
The database provides harmonized indicators at territorial (country) and sectoral levels, enabling comparative studies of employment patterns, automation exposure, and telework adoption. It supports both structural analysis and short-term monitoring, offering breakdowns by demographic characteristics (such as gender, age, and origin) and by enterprise characteristics.
VSECAT is intended to complement ILTED (Intensidad Lingüística del Trabajo en la Era Digital — Linguistic Intensity of Work in the Digital Era), which focuses on occupation-level measures of language and digital skills. Together, these databases allow integrated analyses of skills demand, education alignment (Higher Education and Vocational Training), and labour market dynamics in the context of technological change.The data in VSECAT originates from authoritative sources such as AES (Adult Education Survey), LFS (Labour Force Survey), and SES (Structure of Earnings Survey), harmonized to ensure comparability across countries and sectors.
