Abstract:

Wages and labor productivity are important indicators of the standard of living and economic development of the country. Based on data on the manufacturing industry and the economy of Kazakhstan, the article analyzes the dynamics of labor productivity and average wages under the influence of the introduction of new technologies. The results show that there is a gap in labor productivity and wages depending on the degree of diffusion of new technologies in various sectors of the economy. Analysis of statistical data on wages and other indicators was carried out for the period 2010—2018. A relatively stable level of wage inequality was discovered, which was largely due to the influence of new technologies.
