First world countries eventually reach a point where they don't have poor,uneducated people to do the "low-skill" tasks that any society need someone/something to do it. What we usually see,then,is countries "importing" poor,uneducated people from somewhere else(e.g. Mexicans going to United states,South Americans to Canada,Muslims to European countries,...) but eventually,there will be not enough poor people around the world to import.Thus,the only solution would be using machines to do that simpler tasks. Problem is,we didn't reach that point yet!(more specifically,United States didn't reach that point yet). Replacing people for machines right now would cause some severe social problems short-term speaking(although long term speaking things would stabilize eventually) |
The problem is, there isn't a shortage. Inequality has been steadily growing in first world countries, along with joblessness and poverty. The only reason the joblessness in Belgium went down is because the government scrapped graduated (but not yet employed) students from the statistics. Actual statistics aren't really that rosy concerning our future.
