Tectonic changes come to market work within the next 20 years, and governments are not at all prepared to accept them. This is one of his positions Bill Gates, one of the most decisive players in development of technology, in the context of his recent speech at the American Enterprise Institute.
"Software programs that will replace workers such as drivers, waiters, or nurses, are booming. Technology will, over time, reduce demand for jobs, especially those that do not require special skills or expertise, "he said. Gates.
And he is not the only one who has warned policymakers about radical changes in employment, changes that portend major social upheavals. Two months ago, the British publication Economist published a survey, which listed more than ten occupations that will be performed by robot within the next 20 years in fields such as telemarketing sales, accounting and retail. Paradoxically, Mr. Gates, a man who personifies the advances in technology that have changed the daily lives of workers, recommends ways to prevent the replacement of jobs by software programs. He proposed changing the tax system code in order to create incentives for hiring employees.
At the same time, he proposed the abolition, for example, of employer contributions or business taxation. On top of that, Mr. Bill Gates is cautious attitude on the White House's plans to raise the base salary. This will discourage employers from hiring workers to perform tasks that can be automated. As economic observers point out, Mr. Gates' predictions cover several occupations in the service industry and related occupations.
