Assessing the impact of technological change on similar occupations: Implications for employment alternatives

Karine Torosyan,
Sicheng Wang,
Elizabeth A. Mack
et al.

Abstract: Background The fast-changing labor market highlights the need for an in-depth understanding of occupational mobility impacted by technological change. However, we lack a multidimensional classification scheme that considers similarities of occupations comprehensively, which prevents us from predicting employment trends and mobility across occupations. This study fills the gap by examining employment trends based on similarities between occupations. Method We first demonstrated a new method that clusters 756 … Show more

“…This theory infers that introducing Industry 4.0 technologies such as robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence into the construction industry has the potential to fundamentally transform labour processes, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. This theory is corroborated by several studies that have analysed how technologies are altering many sectors and creating opportunities to boost human capacities (Torosyan et al, 2023;Ra et al, 2019;Horváth & Szabó, 2019). While the introduction of technologies holds invaluable potentials to revolutionize work, Mormina (2019) pointed out that technological advancements can reinforce power dynamics and inequities in work place unless they are utilized with careful consideration.…”
