Technological advancement Impacts on human labor and employment opportunities
(Muhammad Faizan Jameel, )
Is the invention of latest
technologies dents the human labor at certain features or not??it defines the
answer as‘’Yes’’, but we should have toanalyze that, such technological changes
occurs in our society may also provide more employment opportunities and enhance
the jobs ratio, e.g. due to the latest machineries our management services jobs
become more healthier in quantity. The concept of employment increases or
decreases is also based on the nature of the Job, some of the job gets more
professional enhancement due to the technological achievements and some jobs
(especially those are link with less-skillful elements) get negative effect with
the technological inventions.
Although, considering all these facts, technology revolution is replacing human
beings with machines in almost every economic sector in the global economy
andmillions of workers have been enduringly eliminated from the economic
setup.Due to the technological advancement, the older labor suffers the most,
according to a survey in USA, 63 million men and women labor get un-employed,
who are above than 55 years in 2002 and this ratio will increase up to 103
million in 2025. The biggest reason behind that is the lack of modern skills,old
people cannot learn new skills to retain their employments.
To control the unemployment rate in the technological era, we should have to
impart such skills that provide labors to adjust with new technological
equipment and enable themselves according to the means of modern employment
system. There is no doubt about the importance of technology as the economic
achievements are concern, but the point is that if we wants to get more
employment benefits from technology, than we should have to create such
alternative opportunities to ourlabors who are not enough skillful and cannot
compete with the usage criteria of advance technological inventions. We should
not replace the human labor at the large level, if technology covers the
different aspects of our solutions than we have to utilize technological
inventions in such a manner that create a balance in employment sector.
