What will become of our native unskilled workers in the future? One thing we do know is giving amnesty to 30 million, new, unskilled illegal immigrants will only exacerbate the problem facing our native born low-skilled workers in the future.
Idea, maybe we can train people for jobs that need to be performed, you know like maintaining all that wonderful automated equipment. Come on people every new technology brings new jobs with it meaning many low skilled workers can be trained into skilled jobs and while serving a purpose they also improve their own lot on life and ends the cycle of assistance for some and their families.
If I was young I would look into drone and robot repair. I wonder in the very near future if we will see ads on TV for that type of training like we do with auto repair, etc. Just think of how much a person would be worth that could fix any problem on a robot on site.
I know, what do all those people complaining about overpopulation think would happen if we took their advice about zero population growth? Eventually we would die out as a species. Look at all the countries that are having troubles because the birth rate is too low.
European countries that rely on several workers for every pensioner had to open their countries up to immigration and now it's destroying their centuries-old cultures.
Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world, and it is estimated that by 2060 the population will decrease from about 127 million to about 87 million, and of that population 40% will be 65 or older. They could become a ghost country unless they do something they've long fought against - mass immigration.
Russia is so worried about declining birth rates that they outlawed homosexuality and are encouraging marriage. I'm not sure what their stance is on abortion at this time, but I do remember a few years ago seeing a report about the number of abortions women in Russia have. It was common for a woman to have not one but three, four, five, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Russia has outlawed abortion.
Most of us who complain about overpopulation are not for zero population growth. So let's dispel that myth right now, shall we? If a country's resources both natural and social are struggling to provide for their population, we have overcrowded schools, jails and hospitals and high unemployment then obviously we need to reduce our population growth not increase it. This isn't rocket science you know.
7 Billion on the planet right now with nearly 1/2 of them being either Chinese or Indian to whom we have outsourced our jobs. Automation will replace almost all low skilled workers. What to do with all of the un-needed humans is a really disturbing question.

And the leaders we elect do not understand that simple concept or they understand and just don't care.
