This paper investigates the effects of industrial robot adoption in production process on unemployment rate, employment ratio in manufacturing, and TFP growth of 52 countries for 2007–2017 and real wage growth of 30/20 OECD member countries for 2005–2017. The operating stock of robots per employee significantly impacts these variables; the robot adoption effectively lowers the unemployment rate and raises the TFP and real wage growth; on the other hand, it reduces the employment ratio in manufacturing. In addition, the positive contribution of the robot adoption is slightly larger on the 10- and 90-percentiles (bottom and top 10 percentiles) of the real wage distribution than on its mean. Interestingly, workers in both percentiles of wage distribution equivalently benefit from robotization. Either the industry ratio of value added or ICT development contributes to improving the labor market, e.g., repressing the unemployment rate and raising the employment ratio in Asian manufacturing industries and TFP and real wage growth.
