Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the impact of technological progress on wage inequality in the context of non-standard employment. For this purpose, an econometric analysis was conducted on the data of 31 OECD countries for the years 2000-2019. In order to understand the relationship between ‘technological progress and non-standard employment' and ‘technological progress and wage inequality,' five different data sets were used. The results show that technological innovation leads to an increase in non-standard employment. However, technological progress and non-standard employment did not have a negative impact on wage inequality. The results of the study have important implications for the effects of technology on employment and wage inequality.
