Abstract

The article deals with the influence of technical progress on structure of employment in the construction industry. In the conditions of present development, changes of employment are, to a growing extent, mining a qualitative character. The employment structure is determined by many factors, among which the technical progress is and will continue to be of special importance. In th is article there are presented results of researches carried out in the construction industry between the years 1965-1975. The analysis consists of three parts: a) analysis of changes in the employment structure according to basic classification criteria; b) construction and interpretation of the econometric model of influence of the technical progress on selected elements of the employment structure; c) identification of growth factors of building production with a special emphasis laid on employment and technical progress. The results of the analysis made it possible to determine the basic trends and scope of changes which the employment structure is undergoing. Econometric analysis, furthermore, outlined the direction and force of changes of its elements showing a big impact of technique and technology. The forecasting function in the warning sense is performed by an attempt at isolation of production factors pointing at clearly extensive foundations of previous development of activity.
