abstract: 'The implications of technology adoption for productivity, income, and
welfare have been studied widely in the context of less developed
countries (LDCs). In contrast, the relationship between technology
adoption and employment has attracted less interest. This systematic
review evaluates the diverse yet sizeable evidence base that has
remained below the radars of both reviewers and policy makers. We map
the qualitative and empirical evidence and report that the effect of
technology adoption on employment is skill biased and more likely to be
observed when technology adoption favors product innovation as opposed
to process innovation. Technology adoption is also less likely to be
associated with employment creation when: (i) the evidence is related to
farm employment as opposed to firm/industry employment; (ii) the
evidence is related to low-income countries as opposed to lower
middle-income or mixed countries; and (iii) the evidence is based on
post-2001 data as opposed to pre-2001 data. There is also qualitative
evidence indicating that international trade, weak forward and backward
linkages, and weaknesses in governance and labor-market institutions
tend to weaken the job creating effects of technology adoption. We
conclude by calling for compilation of better quality survey data and
further attention to sources of heterogeneity in modeling the
relationship between technology adoption and employment in LDCs. (C)
