Abstract

According to our results, Slovakia faces a particularly high risk of potential automation of existing jobs, especially at lower education levels, compared with an above-average education sample. Further, professions that require a high degree of analysis and interaction, as well as problem-solving skills (teachers, doctors, scientists, lawyers, social scientists, managers and directors) show high proportions of employees with a lower risk of automation. Moreover, occupation groups that involve simpler and more routine activities and have lower formal qualification levels, such as unskilled workers, cleaning staff, cashiers, craftsmen, metal- and mechanical workers, machine operators and to some extent service staff, include a high proportion of employees facing a higher risk of automation. By sector, there are a large number of employees with a high risk of automation (> 60%) in the automotive, manufacturing, wholesale and retail, construction and hospitality industries. In addition, women are likely to be affected most by the implementation of automation and AI.
