Firm Size, Innovation and Market Structure

Technological unemployment is the loss of jobs due to technological change. It is a key type of structural unemployment. Technological change typically includes the introduction of labour-saving "mechanical-muscle" machines or more efficient "mechanical-mind" processes (automation) and, in doing so, humans' role in these processes are minimized. Historical examples include artisan weavers losing work due to the introduction of mechanized looms, leading to protests by the Luddites. A contemporary example of technological unemployment is the displacement of retail cashiers by self-service tills and cashierless stores.
