Technological progress continues to be a source for concern as well as hope. On the one hand the growing ability to automate certain parts of the production process and the resulting substitution of capital for labour gives rise to the fear of the latter becoming increasingly redundant. On the other hand technological progress has the potential to reduce the costs of production which in turn may generate demand for labour. However, as certain types of labour have been shown to be far more susceptible to the risk of automation than others, even in the absence of negative effects on total employment, technological progress may nevertheless produce winners and losers.
