Abstract: In the debate on digitization of work and employment, empirical research addresses changes in labour markets, jobs, occupations, job profiles and activities in different settings. An overview of methods for measuring the effects of digitization on work is still lacking. The paper examines methods for measuring the impact of digitized work in empirical studies based on a systematic literature review. Central questions address the conceptualization and operationalization of digitization in work context as well as methodological conceptions of impact analyses. The studies included in the review focus on labour market and industry-related approaches. The results show a wide range of methods used, including qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as retrospective measurements and prospective impact projections. The further development of survey instruments can benefit from a stronger focus on impact dynamics and topiccentred analyses, for example with regard to the (informal) acquisition of digital skills.
