        Abstract
        This paper looks at the impacts of the restructuration of global value chains are skills, occupational identities, class position and class consciousness. The codification of tacit knowledge and standardisation of work processes are both preconditions for restructuring and triggers of further restructuring. The codification of tacit knowledge and standardization of work processes are preconditions for Both restructuration and triggers further Top of restructuring. This leads to a modularisation of skills and work processes enabling them to be reconfigured spatially and contractually and results in a fracturing of traditional occupational identities. This leads to a modularization of skills and work processes Enabling Them to be reconfigured spatially and contractually and results in a fracturing of traditional occupational identities. The resulting difficulty in pinning down stable occupational descriptions is illustrated from the work of the STILE 1 project on occupational classification in an international comparative perspective. The resulting and difficulty in pinning down steady occupational descriptions is illustrated from the work of the STILE one project on occupational classification in an international comparative perspective. The paper then draws on qualitative research among workers involved in telemediated employment carried out as part of the EMERGENCE 2 and WORK 3 projects in order to tease out what this means for individual perceptions of occupational and class identity. The paper then draws on qualitative research Among workers Involved in telemediated Carried out employment as share of the EMERGENCE 2 WORK and three projects in order to tease out what this means clustering for individual perceptions of occupational and class identity.
