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.
As wealth increases(an enevitalbe result of automation), so will services that only humans can provide. How about non-mass-produced luxury goods? Can robots make gourmet meals?
Can low skilled people do high skilled jobs? Do we need everyone to be employed in order to create enough wealth for everyone? With automation I think we won't.
I'm seeing a world where all wine is made from hand picked grapes. Just because you're not creative enough to imagine a business that utilizes low skilled ppl dsn't mean it cant happen
Some low skilled labour may still exist, it there will be less demand for it. Especially in developed nations.
We must have different definitions of what constitutes a developed nation. Would you like to live in a world where you only buy mass produced crap from vending machines?
Like the world we currently live in? Yes. That said I see automation as improving things and lowering prices. Better than having the low skilled people doing it.
