    Very neat. There are warehouses that are automated. The robot does all the labor and a person just inspects before it ships. One here in southern az the floors needed to be perfect flat. A huge warehouse only had 13 workers. The rest was robots.

      they have gov subsidies, Singapore's population is also shrinking, and 25% of the labor force is already immigrants from other nations, hence the automation. in the US full automated manufacturing means minimal workers, and no job creation, people will oppose it.

    To try to say that it'd be harder for big countries to do that is just an excuse, the exact same could be said about city states as well - that is, that workers, both local and migrant, might 'risk' losing their jobs.
    The way forward is and always will be to do with investing in your people, investing in human capital.
    Consider these examples: Singaporean students perform amongst the best, if not the best in the world; their housing situation is second to none; healthcare outcomes are amazing; almost unbelievably low crime rates, etc. and so on.
    You invest in these things, you won't have much serious issues to keep evolving and progressing.

  • @dentonfender6492
    @dentonfender6492 Год назад +6

    Will jobs that produce income for humans increase in proportion to jobs eliminated by robots? As this revolutionary technology spreads, the need for universal basic income UBI becomes imminent. As it stands today, unemployed humans don't have the income to buy the products made by robots, or humans. Without UBI, more, and more humans are unable to purchase robot produced products, let alone human made products, which will increase product supply (all while humans struggle to survive), that will decrease price of products resulting in very small profit margins possibly pushing companies out of business. Choice: Either outlaw robots (not likely), or initiate government UBI's for all humans especially in countries with the most automation, or lacking in alternative jobs presently only humans can perform. China will probably lead the way there also since they are automating factories rapidly.

    Well, workers would be okay to lose their jobs if we provided them with an income, a universal basic income. When robots are able to perform tasks that humans can, humans would no longer be needed to work. Humans still need money to survive so we provide all humans with monthly allowance, aka universal basic income.
