“…Eastern European countries had very much benefitted from the economic integration with the German productive system after the demise of the Soviet Union and, to a larger extent, after the 2004 adhesion to the European Union. The recession particularly hit these countries mainly because of a very distressed labor market exacerbating socio-economic conditions; however, deprived people do not show problems in the labor market (Croci Angelini et al 2020).…”

To evaluate variations in the well-being dimensions of European citizens, we rely upon Principal Component Analysis methodology, whereby a large set of interrelated indicators are reduced to a small number of aggregate synthetic variables. We find that the 2008 crisis impinged differently on the various dimensions of well-being. The evolution of the indicators has affected different clusters of countries in various ways. Most importantly, we observe that there has been a shift of the principal component from the poor in terms of material deprivation to the risk of poverty for the worsening conditions in the labor market.

“…Thirteen TFP-style studies support the Replacement effect empirically, mostly reporting shifts in labor demand, particularly across industries and across different types of labor e.g. from production to non-production labor (Angelini et al, 2020;Autor and Salomons, 2018;Baltagi and Rich, 2005;Bessen, 2020;Bloch, 2010;Chen and Yu, 2014;Ergül and Göksel, 2020;Graham and Spence, 2000;Gregory et al, 2001;Ho, 2008;Huh and Kim, 2019;Kim and Kim, 2020;Whelan, 2009). Angelini et al (2020), Baltagi and Rich (2005), Gregory et al (2001), and Ho (2008) found that technological change is skill-biased by showing that lower skilled labor tends to be replaced by highskilled labor.…”

Does technological change destroy or create jobs? New technologies may replace human workers, but can simultaneously create jobs if workers are needed to use these technologies or if new economic activities emerge. Furthermore, technology-driven productivity growth may increase disposable income, stimulating a demand-induced expansion of employment. To synthesize the existing knowledge on this question, we systematically review the empirical literature on the past four decades of technological change and its impact on employment, distinguishing between five broad technology categories (ICT, Robots, Innovation, TFP-style, Other). Overall, we find across studies that the labor-displacing effect of technology appears to be more than offset by compensating mechanisms that create or reinstate labor. This holds for most types of technology, suggesting that previous anxieties over widespread technology-driven unemployment lack an empirical base, at least so far. Nevertheless, low-skill, production, and manufacturing workers have been adversely affected by technological change, and effective up-and reskilling strategies should remain at the forefront of policy making along with targeted social support systems.

“…Indeed, depending on the type of technologies and the institutional context, the adoption of new technologies can result in a period of adjustment where employment is disrupted. On the other hand, some studies [ [13] , [14] , [15] ] show that the negative effects of technological progress are likely to be more detrimental to unskilled labor.…”
