The evidence so far does not allow us to conclude anything accurately regarding the preeminence of the scale or substitution effects. However, it seems clear that there has been a movement in the type of required skills associated with the technological change. In particular, there is not only a shift from physical and manual to cognitive skills, accompanied by a growing requirement for higher educational levels, but also, at least in certain cases, a greater demand for socio-emotional skills.   El presente trabajo revisa la evidencia disponible sobre la relación cambio tecnológico y empleo a nivel internacional y desarrolla una serie de ejercicios cuantitativos y cualitativos para el caso uruguayo a fin de evaluar los impactos de la automatización de tareas sobre el empleo. La evidencia disponible hasta el momento no permite concluir nada firme respecto de la preeminencia de los efectos escala o sustitución. Sin embargo, sí parece muy claro que ha venido ocurriendo un desplazamiento en el tipo de habilidades y calificaciones requeridas a medida que se despliegan los procesos de cambio tecnológico. No solo hay un pasaje de las habilidades físicas y manuales a las cognitivas, acompañado de un creciente requerimiento de credenciales educativas superiores, sino también, al menos en ciertos casos, una mayor demanda de habilidades socio-emocionales. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2438 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2438/3186 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 47 (2020): Documento de Trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política UBA CONICET; 1-84 Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 47 (2020): Working Paper Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; 1-84 2451-5728 Automatización Empleo Capital humano Habilidades Uruguay Automation Employment Human capital Skills Uruguay Automation and employment in Uruguay Automatización y empleo en Uruguay info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=dociiep&d=2438_oai
