The robot cannot do it alone

30 September 2016

Robotisation and digitalisation are going to change the way we work and yes, some jobs will disappear. An aspect that has been given too little attention is that the new technologies will also create jobs; maybe even more than the amount of jobs that will disappear. These jobs will not only be in the high-tech or IT.
The new technologies will cause the market for improved and cheaper products to grow. This market growth and the spill over effects will cause the job market to grow. ABN AMRO has published a short chronological overview of the evolution of the calculation of the effects of automation and digitalisation on the job market (News Item ABN AMRO, 23 September 2016).
