Abstract
Most European countries experience a continuous decline in manufacturing employment while knowledge intensive services increasingly gain importance. From a theoretical point of view, these developments are mainly driven by functional specialization processes. Against this background, a shift-share analysis based upon national data from the European Labor Force Survey 2008 to 2013 is applied to investigate this interrelation. Generally the decline in production tasks had a large impact in manufacturing. Within the knowledge intensive manufacturing STEM and management functions partially compensated for this effect. Some Southern and new member states, however, incurred employment losses especially due to their focus on production. Employment in German manufacturing was generally favored by national employment trends and a comparably low share of production tasks. Despite, effects from valuable functions were small. In addition, the recently low level of ICT related activities may impede future growth.
