The impact of technological progress on employment is a highly controversial topic in the theoretical and empirical literature. They are theoretically called optimistic, pessimistic and balancing views, respectively, that technological development increases, reduces and does not affect employment. Nevertheless, there is no common opinion in the empirical literature regarding the effect of technological ddevelopment on employment. Employment destabilisation, which started after the “2008 global crisis”, still maintain. A research conducted from the viewpoint of the G-20 countries provides important ideas about the world economy. Based on these facts, it is very crucial to establish the effect of technological development on employment in G-20 countries. At the research, the impact of technological progress on employment in the long term between 1996 and 2021 for G-20 group economies was estimated using the panel data method. 13 G-20 countries whose data can be found in the study were utilized. The findings obtained as a result of the study have displayed that technological progress does not affect employment in the G-20 group of countries. The findings obtained are supportive of the balancing view that technological development doesn’t have an important role for the G-20 economies to raise their employment.
