The ambiguous impact of digitalization on the labor market is observed in many of the world’s countries at the beginning of the 21st century. Despite the positive aspects of digitalization for the economy, it is necessary to identify the negative issues to create possible subsequent mechanisms for economic development and the market of labor. Unfortunately, many global communities are currently facing the challenges of unemployment due to automation. In the short term, technical progress makes capital cheaper, causing a substitution effect, and the demand for labor is reduced. The same number of products can be produced with a smaller number of workers. In the longer term, as a result of lower production costs, outweighs the effect of production volume. As the rate of profit and real wages grow, the well-being and purchasing power of the population increase. The growth of purchasing power stimulates the supply of new products, and the level of technological unemployment may decrease even more. Goals of the Paper The primary objective of this paper is to discuss the challenges of employment caused by automation, which is pertinent to the modern world. This report aims to identify the findings in the field, the link between automation and society, the challenges associated with robotization, and the impact its process has on industries. In addition, task-related factors will be addressed. This paper will be focused on reviewing the available data and identifying the global tendencies related to automation and employment. In addition, several studies will be reviewed and critiqued for possible research boundaries. Type of Research and Methodology This paper will use a qualitative strategy as its purpose is to observe and gather non-numerical data. It is the most appropriate for identifying existing tendencies and analyzing their effects and meanings for society. In addition, the qualitative approach allows for explaining and presenting particular cases, which is also significant for the goals of this paper. The methodology of this research will be a narrative literature review, which is determined by the objectives of the paper. As this report aims to summarize the literature on the issues and its findings, the narrative type of a literature review is the most feasible approach. The systematic method can be considered inapplicable because there is no particular time frame, as well as no reference to statistics. Addressing the Knowledge Gap The link between automation and its impact on employment is an understudied issue since automation is widely seen as a positive aspect due to technological progress. It accelerates manufacturing, improves the quality of products, and allows for a higher level of reliability and stability. However, the societal influences and the impacts on industries are not widely considered. This paper will fill this gap, reviewing the findings of current studies on the issue and addressing significant facts they discuss. The study will contribute to the existing body of literature, as it will collect several significant works on the issue and provide a critical evaluation of evidence. Automation and Societal Influences First, the change in the technological structure of society, the long period of economic development without an IT system, the inefficient development of dome
