2017年4月国际货币基金组织发布的《世界经济展望》也得出了类似结论，将导致劳动在各发达经济体国民收入中所占比率持续30年下滑的其中一半因素归于技术的影响，同时也将相近的另一半因素归于全球化。
The April 2017 IMF World Economic Outlook reaches a similar conclusion, attributing about 50% of the 30-year decline in labor’s share of national income in the developed economies to the impact of technology. Globalization, the IMF estimates, contributed about half that much to the decline.
