Their, there and they’re are homophones, but they have a different meaning. In the sentence given their is wrong
The correct sentence is:
There has been a major decline in some roles due to the fourth industrial revolution and has therefore become redundant or automated.
Their is the possessive pronoun of they.
They’re is the contracted form of they are.

Exactly, “there”, “their” and “they’re” are homophones or homonyms as our North American friends call them.
