BACKGROUND
With time all the sectors in the society and the industry have changes. Over past few
years technological advancement has grown to immense level. With this the industrial
development has also seen an amplifying boost. This magnificent growth of the industry have a
direct impact on the Labour marks. Some of the effect are positive on the contrary some of them
are negative. The present research is conducted to identify the effect of technological
automation n the labors market. In this context on the major element considered is the
technological advancement in history. With taking into consideration this factor the research is
being carried out.
AIM
“ Conducting an investigation on determination of the effected of automation on the labour
markets with all major technological development in the history”
LITERATURE REVIEW
Accordion to Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo (2017), robots and other computer-
assisted technologies take over tasks previously performed by labor, there is increasing concern
about the future of jobs and wages. The automation have increased in past 50 years with this the
labors with lesser skilled are not preferred by the companies (Humphries, 2017). This have
directly effected their job security and survival. Jobs are vulnerable of being replaced by
machines but it is clear that developing countries are more susceptible to automation compared
to high-income countries. The impact of advancement in technology is more seen on the labor
market of developing economies as these nations are more inclined towards adoption of
advances machinery and technology for enhancements of their economic perspective and
growth of the country. On the other hand in the views of Daniel B. le Roux1 (2018), the
technological revolution in the industry have an impact on the type of the work performed by
the humans. The invention of increasingly advanced machinery decreases, on one hand, the need
for certain forms of manual labour while, on the other, creating new needs and new types of
work . Through continuous cycles of this process advanced industries have emerged enabling
standards of living to rise across the world (Weber, 2017). This have collided with the growth
of inequalities in the economies in the those nations which were previously democratic.
prompting debate over the implications of the computer revolution for low and medium-skilled

workers have emerged and now this have become one of the essential skill of a person seeking
jobs.
METHODOLOGY
Research Type: The researcher will use the qualitative types for conducting this research. This
method will be chosen for the reason that this helps in understanding and reveling the perception
of the researcher and writers.
Research approach: Research approach used in this project is inductive. Under this approach
observation will be take and on basis of that pattern will be drawn to from tentative hypothesis.
A through will be established on those patterns and hypothesis.
Research Philosophy: the research philosophy that will be applied in this research will be
interpretivism (Ledford and Gast, 2017. The interpretation of all the data and information will
be carried out by the researcher.
Data collection: In this research data will be collected from secondary resources. For this,
books, journals and articles will be referred. Ll the data will be taken from authentically and
reliable sources.
Data analysis: The data so collected thorough secondary reteach will be analyzed and presented
in thematic manner. For each observation and theory so developed theme will be prepared and
information will be interpreted by the researcher.
CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE
With preparation of this research I have gained an immense level of knowledge about the
present and past condition of the labors. This have been identifies by me that in past the
laborers were not given much importance but their significance have reduces with automation.
One of the vast change in this marker is determined as before skilled labors were not that much
essential but in preset time to operate the machinery with advance technology, demand of
skilled labors have been increased. This research is original to its fact as all the secondary
resources have been taken and duly assessed to determined the information about the research
topic for this online and offline both library have been taken into consideration for accessing the
books and journals relevant with topic of the research.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have a great interest in Writing specially journals, article and research papers. With
getting a recognition I can write the articles and Journals and my degree will give them a valid

authentication. I want to carry my research in a particular direction with studying past changes,
present circumstances and future prospective related with my research topic. I want to closely
follows the previous points and carry on the research to next level to prove the public with more
specific Knowledge of my research topics, also my researches would aim at providing assistance
to future researchers. More over, I also want to join this doctorate course to get a command over
propeller solving, finding relevant information and to determine how to work independently. As
I have done my masters but all the projects which I had done were complete in teams for group,
Alone I had done one project and that was a grate experience and this is also one of the factors
which drives my passion for doing PhD.
This degree provides you a status of a DR which must not be a medical practitioner but
you get a prefix to your name as Dr. This gives a person social renegotiation and a status symbol
in the society which is an element that every person in the communist carves for. Getting PhD
degree would be the biggest pride for me as have this dream to carry out research for different
fields and enhance my knowledge. Along with this I also want to serve the society with
researching those topics which are still under explored and provide a vast ocean of knowledge
and skills to the community which they can use for ether personal bane fits or enhancing their
knowledge. The doctorate degrees is my passion and a dream which have lived with from past 5
years as with getting into graduation I was sure that want to do PhD.
