innovación, empleo, cambio tecnológico sesgador de habilidades y rutinas, polarización de empleoResumen
La relación entre la innovación y el empleo es un tema debatido desde los inicios del capitalismo. A menudo, domina la visión pesimista, donde la nueva tecnología tiende a desplazar la mano de obra existente, como es el caso de la actual discusión sobre la robotización y la inteligencia artificial. Sin embargo, la evidencia empírica muestra que las tasas de empleo siguen creciendo a pesar de la introducción de nuevas máquinas. El objetivo del artículo es revisar las tendencias y teorías respecto a la relación innovación versus empleo tanto en términos cuantitativos como cualitativos. Además, se discute de forma crítica el impacto que tienen las nuevas tecnologías sobre las relaciones laborales en términos del bienestar social y la distribución internacional del empleo y la riqueza.Métricas de artículo
