THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY

ON JOB DISPLACEMENT AND

AUTOMATION
BMMA-602
INTRODUCTION
TECHNOLOGY HAS REVOLUTIONIZED WORK AND LIFE, WITH AUTOMATION AND AI
TRANSFORMING TASKS. HOWEVER, CONCERNS ABOUT JOB DISPLACEMENT AND
UNEMPLOYMENT PERSIST. THIS RESEARCH PAPER EXPLORES THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS
AND DRAWBACKS OF THESE ADVANCEMENTS, POLICYMAKERS' ROLE, AND PROPOSED
SOLUTIONS TO MITIGATE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON WORKERS.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS CAN PERFORM
TASKS RELATED TO HUMAN COGNITIVE CAPACITIES,
SUCH AS TRANSLATING SPEECH, PLAYING GAMES AND
RECOGNIZING DESIGNS. THEY LEARN HOW TO DO THIS
BY PROCESSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF INFORMATION.
IMPROVEMENTS IN DIGITALIZATION, MECHANICAL
TECHNOLOGY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND
ADVANCED COMPUTING CAN LEAD TO
COMPUTERIZATION OF HAZARDOUS ERRANDS OR
DECREASE RISKS.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
HAVE TRANSFORMED OUR LIVES
AND WORK, BUT THEY ALSO POSE A
THREAT TO EMPLOYMENT. TO
MITIGATE THESE NEGATIVE EFFECTS,
STRATEGIES AND POLICIES MUST BE
IDENTIFIED TO ENSURE
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
BENEFIT SOCIETY.
 OBJECTIVES
• TO IDENTIFY THE KEY DRIVERS OF JOB DISPLACEMENT AND AUTOMATION AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE
WORKFORCE.

• TO ANALYZE THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING THE TRANSITION TO
INCREASED AUTOMATION IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

• TO ANALYZE THE EFFECTS OF JOB DISPLACEMENT AND AUTOMATION ON DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES,

REGIONS, AND SEGMENTS OF THE WORKFORCE.
 PROBLEMS
• HOW HAS THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY CONTRIBUTED TO JOB DISPLACEMENT AND
AUTOMATION, AND WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC FACTORS DRIVING THESE CHANGES?

• HOW CAN WORKERS BEST PREPARE FOR THE INCREASING PREVALENCE OF JOB DISPLACEMENT AND
AUTOMATION, AND WHAT SKILLS AND TRAINING WILL BE MOST VALUABLE IN THE FUTURE JOB MARKET?

• HOW CAN INDUSTRIES AND ORGANIZATIONS EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE TRANSITION TO INCREASED
AUTOMATION WHILE MINIMIZING JOB LOSSES AND MAINTAINING PRODUCTIVITY?
 GENERAL OBJECTIVE
TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICYMAKERS, INDUSTRY LEADERS, AND
INDIVIDUALS ON HOW TO BEST NAVIGATE THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF WORK IN THE
FACE OF JOB DISPLACEMENT AND AUTOMATION.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

SCOPE LIMITATION
• LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT • CONSEQUENCE OF JOB LOSS

• ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY • TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS

• WAGES OF EMPLOYEE • COST AND IMPLEMENTATION

METHODOLOGY
THIS STUDY USED A QUALITATIVE METHOD TO GATHER DATA FROM 100 FACTORY
WORKERS IN THE SAN MIGUEL CORPORATION, USING A SELF-MADE
QUESTIONNAIRE TO ASSESS THE ADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF AUTOMATION.
RESULTS WILL BE USED TO CONTRIBUTE TO EXISTING LITERATURE AND FUTURE
RESEARCH DIRECTIONS.
