Global value chains have helped create jobs in developing countries in Asia, but there is concern that technology could displace workers. The study uses a demand-based input–output approach to explore this concern. Its findings indicate that technological change in global value chains was associated with a decrease in labor demand across all sectors, and an increase in the share of nonroutine cognitive occupations. Further, higher domestic consumption increased labor demand enough to offset the negative impact of technological change.
