Digitalisierung in der Schweizer Wirtschaft: Technologiestand und Auswirkungen auf Beschäftigung und Qualifikation der Beschäftigten

Author

Abstract

The first Swiss survey on digitalization of autumn 2016, yields, first, an overview about the diffusion rate of several digital technologies in the period 2013–2015. Second, the responding firms report practically no effects of digitalization on employment until 2016. Third, according to the survey answers modest digitalization-induced net employment increases were reported for the following employee categories: employees with tertiary-level education from universities, universities of applied sciences and other educational institutions of tertiary-level education as well as employees with secondary-level vocational education. This is the case particularly for employees from universities of applied sciences and of secondary-level vocational education. Small employment increases are reported also for apprentices. On the contrary, firms report decrease of the employment of employees with low or no vocational education.
