I think as automation take many of the low skilled job that welfare will become more essential. As jobs get more complicated we have to accept that some people won't be able to work.
This would mean increasing industrialization (more automation) leads to increasing percent of the pop too low skill to work. Wonder if this has been the case? & size of effect?
I guess that's what I'm getting at. these trends dont come from nowhere. we should see evidence of them already. genuinely asking if anyone has studied these trends bc I'm curious.
They have been saying this since the industrial revolution. New jobs are created as old ones disappear. It is based on the notion that there is only so much work to do, which is wrong.
