Abstract:

Study investigates the influence of technological factor on employment in Kazakhstan in comparison with the indicators of the world`s leading countries in the short run. Comparative analysis of the factor of technological readiness and its sub-indicators for five countries showed the absence of link between the new technologies introduction, the employment rate and the growth of mass unemployment. The analysis revealed that it`s necessary for developing countries to overcome the growing gap from the developed countries to accelerate the technological modernization of the economy. Study reveals that we should focus on the introduction of the latest technologies, which can provide economic growth and increase employment in the long term.
