Working with technology : a survey of automation in Canada / Gordon Betcherman, Kathryn McMullen.: EC22-133/1986E-PDF
"New technologies have played an important role in the transformation of the Canadian economy during the 1980s. One prominent aspect of this development concerns the employment implications of the technological changes. Despite the widespread fascination with high tech, factual information on how computers, robots, and other new technologies are affecting workers and jobs has been limited. Accordingly, the Economic Council of Canada has launched a major investigation of the labour market impacts of technological change. Slated for publication in the summer of 1987, the study examines employment and income effects of new technologies, their skill consequences, and related policy issues such as the requisite education and training. Results will be based on a wide range of research studies as well as consultation with labour, business, government, and other relevant groups"--Introduction, p. 5.
