Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to examine the impacts of automation on the Slovak labor market by applying automatability estimates to detailed employment data at the levels of districts and occupations. The district- and industry-level analysis shows that automation has the potential to significantly disrupt the Slovak labor market. Employees with lower incomes face greater risk of losing their jobs. The risk of automation is lower in districts with higher unemployment levels and vice versa, which indicates that technological progress does not have the potential to increase existing regional disparities in terms of employment opportunities. Policymakers should therefore consider differences among districts and industries when directing their job creation efforts.

自动化对斯洛伐克就业的潜在风险:地区和行业层面的分析

摘要本文的目的是通过将自动化估计应用于地区和职业层面的详细就业数据，来检验自动化对斯洛伐克劳动力市场的影响。地区和行业层面的分析表明，自动化有可能严重扰乱斯洛伐克劳动力市场。收入较低的员工面临更大的失业风险。失业率较高的地区自动化的风险较低，反之亦然，这表明技术进步不可能增加就业机会方面现有的地区差异。因此，政策制定者在指导创造就业机会的工作时，应考虑地区和行业之间的差异。
