This article reviews recent literature on this topic to examine the evidence from two perspectives. First, I critically review the theoretical literature on the effects of robot adoption on employment and analyse the capacity of different theories to describe these influences. Second, I evaluate the current empirical evidence regarding the impact of robot technology on the economy in terms of employment and reshoring.

Human capital theory, signalling theory and insights from the “new employment relationship” inform the hypothesis that training preferences depend on the specificity of the skills targeted by training in combination with employment contract type. The results confirm this hypothesis and indicate that, although workers on open-ended contracts have a stronger relative preference for organization-specific skills than temporary workers - who have a stronger relative preference for general skills - all workers prefer training aimed at general over organization-specific skills. Workers on temporary contracts are moreover found to receive less training in practice than they would like.</p>","PeriodicalId":47216,"journal":{"name":"International Labour Review","volume":"163 2","pages":"225-245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135871313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings indicate that workers who use non-routine cognitive skills intensively are better off in terms of employment, wages and switching occupation. Overall, we observe signs of routine-biased technological change and employment polarization following the Brazilian economic crisis of 2014.</p>","PeriodicalId":47216,"journal":{"name":"International Labour Review","volume":"163 2","pages":"199-224"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136359108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
