Automation will impact the job market but will certainly not end up as job crisis.

Automation can be
defined as a process or technology that requires minimal human interaction. The traditional jobs are
mostly manual labour that doesn't require much of technological intervention, but as we step much
more towards automation, such manual labour requirements will rapidly decline. The new requirement
of the hour will be technologically trained labour force that is well versed with the automation
technology. Now it's important to understand the scale of this requirement. Automation comes with a
boon that the work/processes that were performed by several manual workers can also be a single
piece of technology/machine with minimal operators, thus leading to the high dropout rate. But few of
the task, such as inspections needs human interventions, and automation cannot achieve delicate
requirements. Few industries that cannot afford automation such as pottery, paintbrush, art industry,
etc. Such skilled jobs will not be affected by automation. Few of the sectors, such as IT and service
sectors, will also not be impacted much by the automation. In addition to these, processes that include
taking administrative and management, decisive roles will not see any impact of automation. Now on
positive side automation will lead to manufacturing at a lower price and thus increasing the demand and
subsequently increasing the supply. This increase in supply will create a job in various sectors. To sum
up, there will be certain sectors that will experience a shortage of job, but the new avenues will
compensate these offsets whereas the other sectors will not see any change.
