摘要 
The impact that automation and the introduction of new technologies have on employment has been a subject of study for decades. Technological advances throughout history have deeply altered the employment structure of economies in all parts of the world. Since the first industrial revolution in 1760, workers began to question and somewhat fear the introduction of technologies that would automate tasks and even eliminate entire jobs.
The focus of this research lies in evaluating the effects automation has had on the manufacturing industry of Honduras. In order to achieve this, a number of quantitative and qualitative sources of data were evaluated. These include studies and researches on the topics of automation, employment and reshaping of skills, reports and statistics on Honduras macroeconomic data as well as employment trends and impact of foreign investment. Finally, an interview was conducted with an expert in technology implementations to gain a first-hand perspective in the subject of automation in Honduras.
After the evaluation of this data, the following key results were obtained: A gradual transition into more deeply automated manufacturing plants in Honduras is expected in the long run. For now, the country’s low labor costs act as a cost-effective way for international companies to continue manufacturing their products. Developed countries with higher levels of education will not be severely affected by automation. These countries have a larger number of workers who possess higher skill levels and whose jobs are not easily automatable. Underdeveloped economies like Honduras should stress the implementation of policies that will enhance their population’s skills and education levels, these policies should serve to enhance the quality of life at all levels of society.
