Abstract
The thesis investigates the impact of technological innovation on employment and job characteristics. Automation - the technological driver behind the use of computers and robots - is here understood as a task-selective process of substitution of human input by (digitally enabled) machine input within production and distribution activities. Not only can automation impact on the structure of employment (cancelling the demand of certain jobs) but it can also bear consequences on the organization of work, with the net result of changing the nature of jobs.File in questo prodotto:
