Abstract

As a stage of technological changes, digitalisation opens a new world for human society and economic development, where the traditional views on the labour market face significant challenges. The current study presents the views on the nature of digitalisation, its manifestation according to the adopted measurement indicators, and the place of Bulgaria in these processes. The study focuses on the discussions in the economic literature on two important issues about the impact of digitalisation on the labour market. The first issue is what quantitative changes are possible in labour/job demand as humans are replaced by technology. The second issue is what changes occur in the nature of labour, respectively, in the professions and skills of the employees.
