Technological unemployment as frictional unemployment
Keyword(s):
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present some scenarios about a possible future evolution of the labour market in the knowledge economy. Design/methodology/approach The author used the literature to describe the historical evolution of the technology unemployment. Findings Digital technology does not directly generate unemployment, as the balance between jobs destroyed and created has historically always been positive. Indeed, technological unemployment in such a context can manifest itself in the form of frictional unemployment. Originality/value The study enriches the literature on the relationship between digital technologies and unemployment rate.
