Abstract (AI)
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are one of the key factors for fundamental changes in industries. Along with the positively assessed impact of ICTs on labour productivity’s growth, there are concerns about possible industrial unemployment. The analysis of the relationship between ICTs, labour productivity and employment in inter-sectoral comparison in Russia shows heterogeneous effects depending on particular industries. Despite the substantial spread of ICTs in recent years, the findings indicate that their influence on labour productivity and employment is characterized rather by gradual changes and sustainability in certain industries.
