From the Paper:

"The second aspect is the dynamic nature of the process of production and reorganization through automation. Products and processes are being automated more and more, and the worker is less in demand. This leads to anomalies in employment, wage structure and the system in place to protect the worker is now powerless to accommodate the changes. These changes have to be seen in the background while considering the efficiency of the commission in the present day context. The innovations occur day by day and come "both from technological innovation (labor-saving machines, automation) and from tight technical control over work processes."
