Abstract

Japan’s labor market suffers from labor shortages, especially in manual and physical jobs, a problem that will be exacerbated in the short and medium term by demographic collapse and an aging population. In this context, one possible solution is automation through artificial intelligence (AI) and robotization. However, research on AI and its effects on the U.S. labor market concludes that the jobs with the greatest exposure to this new technology are high-skill jobs and those based in the knowledge economy. If so, the effectiveness of automation in addressing Japan’s labor shortages in the most affected sectors will require other strategies.
