Abstract
El artículo presenta un análisis de las consecuencias de la innovación en el mercado laboral, diferenciando entre efectos sobre la cuantía de empleo y efectos sobre su calidad.
Para abordar el tema se propone la distinción entre dos tipos de innovación directamente relacionadas: la innovación de producto y la innovación de proceso. Para llegar a una explicación de los datos, el análisis hace referencia a dos escuelas de pensamiento distintas, considerando por un lado, la teoría neoclásica, basada en los mecanismo de compensación que aseguran una recuperación del empleo que se pierde debido a la innovación, y por otro lado, la visión evolucionista que reconoce los problemas en el mercado laboral generado por el progreso tecnológico.
The paper presents an analysis of the consequences of innovation on the labour market, differencing between the impact on the level of employment and effect on its quality. In order to better study the economic phenomenon, the text proposes a distinction between two types of innovation directly related: product innovation and process innovation. To get an explanation of the data, the analysis refers to two different schools of thought, considering on the one hand, the neoclassical theory, based on the compensation mechanism to ensure a recovery in employment that is lost due to innovation, and on the other hand, the evolutionary theory that recognizes the problems in the labour market generated by technological progress.
