摘要
Technological change is causing major transformations in the nature of work and the labor market. As a result, there is a growing interest in studying the relationship between automation of jobs and attitudes toward universal basic income as a potential solution to address the socioeconomic challenges posed by technological advancements. Hence, the exploration of a universal basic income and other innovative ways to restructure the welfare state has become crucial in navigating the complexities of the digital economy and automation. Drawing on data from the Barometer of Political Opinion of Catalonia, Spain, our study reveals nuances insights. We observe that individuals facing a high risk of job automation have a negative impact on support for selectively targeted, means-tested basic income. In addition, while concerns about technological displacement are prevalent, there is no clear correlation between perceived and objective risk of automation-induced job loss. Contextual information about automation also does not significantly influence support for universal basic income scheme or a guaranteed citizenship income. However, individuals who perceive their work tasks as automatable are more inclined to endorse a universal basic income, highlighting the complex interplay between technological change, socioeconomic perceptions, and attitudes toward welfare policy. L'& eacute;volution technologique entra & icirc;ne des transformations majeures dans la nature du travail et du march & eacute; de l'emploi. Par cons & eacute;quent, il existe un int & eacute;r & ecirc;t croissant pour l'& eacute;tude de la relation entre l'automatisation des emplois et les attitudes & agrave; l'& eacute;gard du revenu de base universel en tant que solution potentielle pour relever les d & eacute;fis socio-& eacute;conomiques pos & eacute;s par les avanc & eacute;es technologiques. L'exploration d'un revenu de base universel et d'autres moyens novateurs de restructurer l'& Eacute;tat-providence est donc devenue cruciale pour naviguer dans les complexit & eacute;s de l'& eacute;conomie num & eacute;rique et de l'automatisation. S'appuyant sur les donn & eacute;es du Barom & egrave;tre de l'opinion politique de Catalogne, en Espagne, notre & eacute;tude r & eacute;v & egrave;le des nuances. Nous observons que les personnes confront & eacute;es & agrave; un risque & eacute;lev & eacute; d'automatisation de leur emploi ont un impact n & eacute;gatif sur le soutien & agrave; un revenu de base cibl & eacute; de mani & egrave;re s & eacute;lective et soumis & agrave; des conditions de ressources. En outre, bien que les inqui & eacute;tudes concernant le d & eacute;placement technologique soient r & eacute;pandues, il n'y a pas de corr & eacute;lation claire entre le risque per & ccedil;u et le risque objectif de perte d'emploi induite par l'automatisation. Les informations contextuelles sur l'automatisation n'influencent pas non plus de mani & egrave;re significative le soutien au revenu de base universel ou au revenu de citoyennet & eacute; garanti. Toutefois, les personnes qui consid & egrave;rent que leurs t & acirc;ches professionnelles peuvent & ecirc;tre automatis & eacute;es sont plus enclines & agrave; soutenir un revenu de base universel, ce qui met en & eacute;vidence l'interaction complexe entre les changements technologiques, les perceptions socio-& eacute;conomiques et les attitudes & agrave; l'& eacute;gard de la politique de protection sociale.
