This article discusses social consequences of labour robotization and the specifics of employment in the post-industrial society in the information age. This topic is of immediate interest, for it leads to a comprehensive analysis of social and technological reality of the last decades. The authors of this paper discuss the following issues: What effect industry robotization will have on employment? What will the robots' place and status be like in the structure of the post-industrial industry? What are possible ways to neutralize negative social consequences related to employment, resulting from robotization of labour? Our approach is interdisciplinary and we propose a comprehensive examination of multiple modes of interaction between humans and technology within metaphysical, anthropological, sociological and natural scientific frameworks. Our study is based on theoretical works by N. Berdyaev, O. Spengler, L. Mumford, A. Giddens, G. Standing, N. Wiener. The present article examines the specifics of the post-industrial society related to nature of work and employment in the context of robotization of industry and of the service sector. The notion of social robotics and limitations in using social robots in emotional labour are the object of analysis. We claim that robotization of industry has significantly altered the established social order. This refers to robots replacing humans in various economic sectors and a rise in unemployment in developed countries. Precarization of work is examined as an example of marginalization of certain social groups having problems with employment as a result of robotization of industry.
