The relevance of the topic. Automation of business processes of modern companies is aimed at ensuring that digital technologies perform certain tasks, usually implemented by a person. Thus, it is designed to simplify everyday work, saving people from simple and repetitive tasks that machines are capable of performing. Currently, in business management, it is possible to automate a significant part of the tasks, from posting on social networks to managing procurement procedures and scheduling meetings. Most existing jobs are forced to change under the influence of technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotization. This means that machines will replace a significant number of jobs. At the same time, they will also contribute to the emergence of new professions. In the context of the ongoing digital transformation of the economy, the appeal to the problem of automation of production and its impact on the structure of employment in modern socio-economic systems becomes particularly relevant. Goal. Study of the phenomenon of automation of modern business processes and analysis of the impact of these processes on the structure of employment. Methodology. In the process of developing research problems, we have systematic and situational approaches. The main methods of research were abstract-logical, monographic, economic-statistical, logical techniques of deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, and others. Results and conclusions. Automation of business processes of modern companies is aimed at ensuring that digital technologies perform certain tasks, usually implemented by a person. Most often, we are talking about repeated operations with little added value, the execution of which requires significant time. Currently, in business management, it is possible to automate a significant part of the tasks, from posting on social networks to managing procurement procedures and scheduling meetings. The impact of new technologies on the labor market is analyzed primarily in terms of creating or reducing jobs. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, automation of production will create at least 12 million more jobs than will be lost. This means that over the long term, automation will have a clear positive impact on public development. This conclusion has already been confirmed during the industrial revolution. In particular, in the United States between 1830 and 1900, the period of mass automation, the number of jobs in the textile industry quadrupled. Scope of application. Economic theory, theory of socio-economic development.
