Abstract

The development of the Internet and cyberspace has grown rapidly in recent years, and its infrastructure has been largely developed. One of the main problems in technology development is the replacement of technology with labor; Since this replacement can lead to a reduction in the employment rate on the one hand, and to the development of business and employment on the other, it must be examined whether the development of cyberspace leads to an increase or decrease in employment. Is it possible to design an employment strategy in cyberspace development whose first priority is employment development? Policies should be adopted in a way that does not only focus on consumption and infrastructure development, but also plans to take advantage of increased employment opportunities in the virtual or internet age. Therefore, to explain the positive impact of cyberspace on employment, using the combined index of cyberspace and the cost minimization model in the production function for the years 1372 to 1397 and using the ARDL method and in order to continue and develop the positive effects of cyberspace on employment, public strategies and cyberspace employment development strategies are presented. The results show that cyberspace with a coefficient of 0.11 and from last year with a coefficient of 0.04 has a positive effect on employment development and to continue and develop this impact, we must firstly rely on improving the internet and traditional business environment and secondly pursue the development of cyberspace with employment strategies.
