The first Report by my Manpower Research Unit on the future pattern of employment in broad sectors of the economy will, amongst other factors, deal briefly with the effects of automation. It will be published towards the end of next month. Other studies of manpower in particular industries are expected to be published later in the year. The series of case studies of the effect of technological change on human relations which are being carried out by my Department on behalf of O.E.C.D. are also nearing completion.
