THE RISE OF ROBOTS! EFFECTS ON EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME
Öz: Disruptive technological advances will have profound impacts on the employment landscape over the years to come. As in the past, new technologies will change the way humans live and work. Some occupations will become obsolete, while new occupations will emerge. Consequently, people will be displaced from some occupations, be forced to require new skills so that they can work in new occupations. Although the introduction of new technologies –robotization– has many dimensions, its effects will range from structural unemployment to distribution of labor income. The first question would be what will be the impact of new technologies on labor demand? Given that new technologies expectedly increase productivity, hence income, the second question would be how the raise be distributed between low and high skilled labor. Hence, this study focuses on the effects of robotization on the structural unemployment, its implications on labor demand and its income distribution effects. I review the current situation of robotization, and make recommendations to policy makers and corporate managers to get prepared for accelerating robotization and not only to mitigate its potential adverse effects on employment and income distribution, but also to take this as an opportunity to increase the quality of life for all.
Anahtar Kelime: ROBOTLARIN YÜKSELİŞİ! İŞSİZLİK VE GELİR ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ
Öz: Önümüzdeki yıllarda yıkıcı teknolojik ilerlemelerin istihdam üzerinde büyük etkileri olacaktır. Geçmişte olduğu gibi, yeni teknolojiler insanların nasıl yaşadıklarını ve çalıştıklarını değiştirecektir. Bazı meslekler modası geçip yok olacak, buna karşılık yeni meslekler ortaya çıkacaktır. Sonuç olarak, insanlar bazı meslekleri bırakacak; yeni mesleklerde çalışabilmek için ise yeni beceriler edinmek zorunda kalacaklardır.Her ne kadar robotizasyon gibi yeni teknolojilerin yaygınlaşmasının birçok boyutu olsa da, yapısal işsizlikten gelir dağılımına kadar da muhtemel etkileri olacaktır. Akla gelen ilk soru, yeni teknolojilerin işgücü talebi üzerindeki etkisinin ne olacağıdır? Yeni teknolojilerin üretkenliği, dolayısıyla toplam geliri artırdığı düşünüldüğünde, akla gelen ikinci soru ise gelirdeki artışın çalışanların farklı beceri düzeyleri özellikle de düşük ve yüksek kalifiye işgücü arasında nasıl dağılacağı olmaktadır.Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada robotizasyonun yapısal işsizlik, işgücü talebi ve gelir dağılımına etkileri üzerinde durulmuştur. Robotizasyonun mevcut durumu gözden geçirilerek, gitgide yaygınlaşan robotizasyonun işsizlik ve gelir dağılımı üzerindeki potansiyel olumsuz etkilerinin azaltılmasın yanında robotizasyonun genel yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için bir fırsat olarak görülmesine yönelik politika yapıcılara ve şirket yöneticilerine tavsiyelerde bulunulmaktadır.
