Summary/Abstract: In today’s world robots are an essential part of many industries. Robots have a great impact on industries from automotive manufacturing to agriculture, from warehousing to pharmaceuticals. Some industries have been using robotics for a longtime; while others have only just begun. Taking this rapid spread of robots into consideration, there is a concern that by replacing labor for production processes, robots will cause technological unemployment. In this study we examine the effects of robots on labor in terms of unemployment. Within the framework of the panel data method, the impact of robotization on unemployment is being analyzed over 13 selected OECD countries covering the years between 2010-2021. The results indicate that utilization of robots in the industry reduces the unemployment for these countries.
