Thousands of jobs have been automated over the past few decades due to the increasing capability of technology.

Technological improvements over the past 20 years have affected:
- what goods and services are produced
- how they are manufactured and distributed
- the interface through which consumers make their purchases
Using new and existing data, this research paper considers whether automation will advance Australia.
