Vliv průmyslu 4.0 na trh práce

The following bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of the fourth industrial revolution, which is the reason for companies to introduce elements of the Industry 4.0 concept. This digitalisation trend changes the whole society and has a great influence on the labour market. In the first part, the author describes historical development, systems and concepts of the Industry 4.0. The second part contains an analysis of employment in economic sectors of the Czech Republic. The concept of Labour 4.0, which changes the way we see labour and the overall conditions on labour market, is also described. The third part is dedicated to the influence of digitalisation on the labour market of the Czech Republic. In the last chapter, a survey focused on confirmation of the hypotheses based on the government study Initiative Labour 4.0 created in 2015 by the National training fund, and on the theoretical part of this thesis in the context of today’s society. Three of the four hypotheses were confirmed, which indicates a commonly low level of knowledge of the Industry 4.0 concept also within the fields which are directly threated by the digitalisation process. Also, an intergenerational gap in the IT skills which will be key for the further introduction of the Industry 4.0 concept is shown to be prevailing.
