Abstract: This paper examines how AI and digital technology diffusion, the green transition, globalisation and population ageing jointly affect labour market tightness across 26 OECD countries and 34 sectors. It finds that digitalisation and decarbonisation increase tightness, while ageing does so only over time. Import competition and labour-substituting AI diffusion, conversely, reduce shortages.
