An Outlook on Impact of

Technology on Jobs

By Team A
 INTRODUCTION
Technology is changing the world of work and reshaping labor markets.
This focuses specifically on the effect of ICT-enabled smart machines,
smart devices, and smart techniques on employment. There is
considerable scope for policies to shape these effects on employment – as
well as how ICT(INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY)
itself will affect how some of these policies will be delivered. However,
technology also brings risks. Some jobs might also be digitized to varying
extents, with some workers or part of their functions being replaced by
technology. The ability to take advantage of opportunities will also vary
among individuals, workers with higher levels of skills more likely to
benefit, while those with lower skills might be less prepared and hence
more exposed to risks of lower job quality and of job loss. Technology is
also changing the nature of employment relationships, with implications
for the risks individuals face.
