【英国】机器人正在威胁北爱尔兰一半的工作机会（BCC新闻）

UK-Robotsto put half of Northern Ireland jobs at risk (BBC News)

More than 400,000 jobs in Northern Irelandare at risk because of an increase in automation over the next ten years,reports BBC News with data from the Ulster University's Economic Policy Centreand Catalyst Inc. The figure accounts for 50% of the total number of jobs inNorthern Ireland. Of the sectors most likely to be affected by automation, themanufacturing sector was found to be the most vulnerable. Richard Johnston fromUlster University's Economic Policy Centre added that while sectors likemanufacturing, logistics and retail and wholesale and some of the lower skilledoccupations are the most vulnerable, automation could also create jobs andsuggested it could also generate more jobs than it replaces.

BBC新闻报道，据Ulster大学Economic Policy Centreand Catalyst 公司提供的数据，在未来的十余年内，伴随着生产自动化的普及，北爱尔兰有超过四十万份的工作机会将有消失的风险。这份报道中提到的四十万份这个数字达到了北爱尔兰工作数量的一半。

报道显示，制造业将是受到自动化影响冲击最大的行业。Economic Policy Centre and Catalyst公司的Richard Johnson提到，除去制造业受到的影响之外，类似于像物流、零售、批发以及一些低技术含量的职位也将受到自动化的影响和冲击。然而，自动化的普及也将创造出新的工作机会，这些新的工作机会将比其取代的工作计划数量更多。
