Robotization : Incentives for Development and Impact on Employment

At the present stage of automation and robotization in the mining and manufacturing industries, there is a decrease in the demand for labor due to technological solutions that reduce the demand for labor in developed countries. The study put forward a hypothesis about a negative correlation between employment in these industries and the equipment of production facilities with industrial robots. To confirm it, an econometric analysis of the impact of robotization on the share of employed in the industrial sector was carried out. Also, several hypotheses were put forward about the reasons for robotization: a decrease in the cost of robots, an increase in their labor productivity and an increase in the minimum wage in developed countries
