Note: cognitive (social) skills refer to the number of cognitive (social) statements the respondent agrees with. Cognitive (social) tasks refer to the number of cognitive (social) tasks the worker performs. The definitions and measurement of the variables are displayed in Table 14 in Appendix A. Robust or clustered standard errors are in parentheses. Fixed effects refer to those at the two-digit occupational level (ISCO codes).
