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.
