A revolução 4.0 e o conflito aparente entre o incentivo tecnológico e a busca do pleno emprego

Abstract

Revolution 4.0 shows itself to be the most disruptive technological era to date. Despite great inventions such as the telephone and discoveries such as electric energy brought to society in previous revolutions, at the current stage of the so-called fourth industrial revolution, technological advances are promising in the most varied areas of knowledge, with discoveries involving nanotechnology, big data, automation, robotics and development of powerful and surprising computer software. In the labor field, specifically in the right to work, the advances brought by Revolution 4.0 bring a mixture of hope for increased productivity and efficiency, but they also obscure the future and bring uncertainty about potential mass unemployment or even a new rereading of what should be done. be considered employment. Classifications such as the desired full employment can, in a way, be replaced by massive underemployment. From a constitutional perspective, a possible inconsistency of the constituent will be assessed when it guarantees technological incentives such as promoting investment in technology, valuing human work and seeking full employment as a principle provided for in the economic order of the Constitution. The present work, therefore, aims to briefly assess industrial revolutions, bring to light a portion of what was brought about by the innovations of Revolution 4.0, as well as explore reflections on the impacts of these innovations on the labor market, evaluating possible paths for harmonization. the fundamental right to work and technological innovation, both of which are addressed in the Constitution of the Republic.
