| Summary: | The digital transition in the first decades of the 21st century has hit Brazilian industry in the midst of a long-term weakening process, in which the progressive loss of competitiveness of the industrial system is added to the loss of participation of technology-intensive sectors in the national manufacturing production. In this context of specialization in sectors and tasks of low complexity, the Brazilian industry will suffer severely from the effects of the new wave of automation throughout the current decade. The article seeks to visualize possible scenarios, discuss the probable impacts of technological unemployment on Brazilian industry, and stimulate debate on policies for dealing with the problem. |
