Are Robots Coming for Your Job?
Robots, AI and other technological advances are partly responsible for the loss of manufacturing jobs in advanced countries. Many more types of jobs are expected to be affected in the future. What can workers in developing countries expect? So far, new technologies have facilitated offshoring of jobs to follower countries. However, as robots become cheaper, will they begin to compete with workers in these countries? What skills will developing country workers need to participate in the 21st century economy?
