A global task-skill atlas of automation exposure

Measure work structure, country variation, and technology transmission together.

AutomationAtlas links tasks, skills, countries, products, and trade-facing technology channels in one public research object. It is broader than a paper companion, but calmer than a dashboard.

Country view

Atlas-wide country layer spanning 142 countries under the common measurement framework. The current atlas-wide country layer covers 142 countries.

Task-skill structure

Start with the structure of work, not just country maps.

The task-skill layer is one of the atlas’s central innovations. Preserving many-to-many links changes which skills look most exposed, and gives the country and product-trade layers a better structural foundation.

Direct consequence

The reranking result is not cosmetic.

Under the GDP-weighted synthetic global, preserving many-to-many task-skill links changes which skills enter the network top decile and which would be missed under a one-to-one compression.

Network-only top decile

39.6%

of the top-decile network skills appear only when many-to-many links are preserved.

Mean percentile-rank gap

0.118

between the preserved network and a one-to-one compression.

The homepage keeps this compact. The full task-skill surface exposes searchable summaries, selected ego previews, and the broader consequence layer.

The task-skill layer matters because preserving many-to-many links changes which skills appear most exposed.

Deliver scripted lines to bring a character to life

A compact ego view keeps the graph interpretable on the public site without loading the full research network into the browser.

Ego preview: Deliver scripted lines to bring a character to life

This is a website-specific preview of the local neighborhood, not the full graph explorer. It keeps the many-to-many structure visible without loading the full research graph into the browser.

Move from countries into products, trade, and the public release.

Countries remain the most intuitive first-contact object. The browse surfaces below keep the country layer connected to technology-bearing goods and to the manuscript, methods, and downloadable bundles.

Countries

Inspect the 142-country atlas layer.

Use atlas maps, country comparisons, and benchmark scatter views to orient the country-conditioned results.

Products and trade

Follow goods-side transmission channels.

Move from mean exposure to role mix and goods-trade mechanism patterns without overstating causality.
