Project Outline

Diffusion of new technologies such as AI and robotics can not only substitute workers' employment, but also can have various influences on labor markets, such as job creation and work-style transformation. This project examines such various impacts to propose institutional design and human resource management that can facilitate human and new technology collaboration to policy makers, business model designers and workers. Specifically, from the viewpoints of various fields including labor economics and the tasks engaged in workers, this project mainly conducts three analyses: (1) Panel survey and analysis for workers, (2) Industry and regional analysis, and (3) field studies based on the firms and workplaces that introduced new technology or conducted demonstration experiment. Furthermore, based on the micro and macro implications, we aim to provide proposals for education, labor market system, redistribution policy and basic materials contributing to the government' "6th Science and Technology Basic Plan."
