Robots do away mostly with unskilled and hazardous jobs and can lead to dramatic employment cut-backs in individual plants. But so far robotisation has affected only a limited number of workplaces in manufacturing. While working conditions may be improved on the whole, reduced manning can ...

The proliferation of robotics in manufacturing, logistics, and even the service sector introduces efficiencies that, while driving down costs and increasing productivity, can also lead tojob displacement. As robots take on tasks that were traditionally performed by humans, there is a tangible fear of...
China has experienced a boom in the adoption of industrial robots in the past decade, promoting the industrial productivity significantly. Many studies have begun to focus on the potential effects of robots on Chinese labor market, especially the substitution effect on routine jobs and the creation ...
On the other hand, robots are stealing some jobs from human workers. Nowadays, the production lines in modern factories have been almost occupied by mechanical arms. Companies have introduced a large number of automatic machines to replace labor workers so as to reduce costs. Other kinds of ...

The economic growth of the last 10 years has made it difficult to figure out the impact of robots on labor. The economy has created jobs outside of those replaced by automation. Displaced workers found new jobs, but will it last?
Industrial robots have boosted productivity and growth, but their effect on jobs remains an open question Robots and automated processes have become a feature of many modern workplaces, but what impact do such innovations have on productivity and jobs? Using a new dataset, Georg Graetz and Guy ...
While it is true that some human jobs are being replaced by robots, many are becoming more efficient and accurate with the assistance of robots. Robots can increase output and productivity, keep labor costs down and improve reliability in manufacturing
As the software becomes more sophisticated, it promises more flexible machines that can be released from their cages. “We’ve got people doing jobs today because the regular robots can’t do it,” says Jim Lawton, head of product and marketing at Rethink Robotics, a Boston-based maker of ...
