Myrielle Gonschor presented the preliminary results of research on how automation affects employment, showing that contrary to popular fears, robots are not destroying jobs in European economies. She discussed the results at the 34th Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics in Barcelona on 19 June, 2021.
The paper, The Impact of Robots on Labour Market Transitions in the EU, written jointly by Ronald Bachmann and Myrielle Gonschor from the RWI – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research in Germany, and Piotr Lewandowski and Karol Madoń from Poland’s Institute for Structural Research (IBS), studied how the increase in robot installation influenced worker flows, i.e. layoffs and new hirings, and therefore employment and unemployment levels in European economies.
