Impacto laboral del proceso actual de cambio tecnológico y nueva división social del trabajo

Abstract

The article analizes the connotations of the current technological change process characterized by high capital and scientific knowledge composition and low human work and empirical knowledge composition and its factorial not-neutrality regarding the privileged capital factor over the labour factor. Furthermore, it refers to the asymmetrical factorial earnings and to the new version of centre-periphery sketch over a techno economic base as opposed to the political-military base in the second half of the twentieth century. This article observes how these events have created a social international division of labour in which core countries’ internal productive factors have been specialized in technologies creation and production of goods and services process with high added value; and the peripheral countries have made it in technological learning and production of goods and services of lesser value processes. This article also includes a brief analysis on the labour impact of the technological change in Colombia since the last decade of the twentieth century.
