Will robots replace human resources or fill their gaps?

Not long ago, it was predicted that people would be unemployed due to the rise of robots. There are many debates and discussions going on about this issue.

However, stakeholders now argue that the production of robots should be accelerated to save the world economy.

According to an article published in the Financial Times, there is currently a shortage of workers worldwide. The article mentions the need to invent modern robots to address the growing shortage of workers.

It is mentioned in the article that there is a lack of workers rather than robots replacing human workers. Especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, the shortage of workers is higher than in history.

Out of the 12 million job openings in America, only 5.6 million are applying. This is the largest gap since 1950.

Millions of people who left their jobs during the Corona epidemic have still not returned to work. This problem is increasing day by day. The article mentions that even though the number of people aged 15 to 64 in the world is low, there is a shortage of workers.

Due to the trend of having children late and having few children for several decades, there is a shortage of workers these days. The number of people of working age has decreased the most in China, Japan, Germany and South Korea.

Because of this, it is now believed that rather than robots replacing humans, robots are needed to protect the economy of the human world and keep the labor market running. Even these countries have started using many robots for work.

In Japan, 400 robots are deployed to support 10,000 workers. China has given concessions to companies that manufacture robots and is also planning to increase this concession by 20 percent by 2030.

Despite this, some researchers claim that humans will never be replaced by robot workers. The government can adopt other alternative measures to increase the number of workers.

There are other measures such as encouraging women to return to work, encouraging multiple births, bringing in workers from other countries, etc. But all these measures may take a long time. Or it may not be sustainable.

In this case, the existing robots are actually displacing some jobs and it has also created some new jobs. For example, fuel vehicles displaced the jobs of horse-riders, but created the jobs of taxi drivers.

In this way, in the future, robots can produce new jobs rather than replacing human workers. The group directly affected by the robot is the group of workers.

A group of three or more workers can be replaced by one robot. But this is an assumption that has been made since ancient times. The speed of development also influences such estimates.

As early as 1950, some experts predicted that fully developed AI workers would arrive 20 years later. However, science is still testing it.

Based on the declining birth rate in the world, there will be a lot of shortage of workers in the coming days, which can eliminate the gap between jobs and workers due to robots.
