Japan Airlines will introduce the robots for trial run at a Tokyo airport amid country’s surge in inbound tourism and worsening labour shortages
Sounds like they need to fix their immigration policies to attract new young labour
Every country will experience labor shortages at some point, it’s unavoidable
But why? Labor productivity is thousands of times higher than before the industrial revolution, and keeps growing exponentially.
We actually should be able to provide all goods and services we need to live comfortably with very few people actually having to work.But we need most of those people to do bullshit jobs, like spreadsheets and reports no one is going to ever read
You gotta get some of those soccer robots if they’re going to realistically dropkick the shit out of the luggage.
So the article referenced a “chronic labor shortage”, but nobody can afford the little luxuries they afforded 10 year ago.
Have they tried just paying people more?
It’s Japan. Labor force is shrinking because not enough kids
it is not just japan, whole world has the same problem. all developed countries have birth rate low below the clean reproduction rate and are slowly dying out.
I know. Japan isn’t an exception, it’s just early.
One of the economic reasons immigration is good.
