Chapter 658: Low-end Population vs. High-end Population

The contradiction between the development of productive forces and the compatibility of jobs is a long-term problem.

In the era of the earth, there have been many similar situations: the large-scale application of automation equipment has led to the layoff of a large number of workers, and those capitalists who have made money will not use their hard-earned money to support laid-off workers for free.

A billionaire, if he is asked to take five million to charity, in order to gain a good name, this rich man may agree.

But if he wants to donate most of the profits he earns every year to support the poor, he will most likely object.

In this case, how can these laid-off workers support themselves? They don't have enough technology to work in more high-end industries, and the whole society doesn't have enough jobs, so they lose their source of income.

As a result, the whole society naturally has insufficient domestic demand and overcapacity.

Without demand, commodity prices plummeted, and the capitalists naturally went bankrupt.

This is where the economic crisis and social unrest come from.

In order to prevent the recurrence of this phenomenon, the former civilization of the earth tried to forcibly create jobs, robots are good, the error rate is very low, but jobs cannot disappear. No matter how technology develops, there must be someone in this service position, otherwise, this store will not want to open.

This method is widely used in low-end service industries and labor-intensive industries, like an unmanned bus, with an emergency driver, a conductor, maybe plus a security guard, which creates three jobs at once, and the effect is not bad.

These occupations do not require any skills, and they can be used after a period of casual training, and the government can save a lot of trouble by forcibly arranging a large number of unemployed vagrants.

This is how the civilization of the earth is doing.

At this point in the discussion, Captain Feng said: "This method of forcing the creation of intensive labor positions can stabilize society and create a large number of jobs, but it ...... Sucks, really! ”

"Everyone, what time are you?"

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he brushed his hair, this question was a bit interesting.

The main body of the new human civilization is the planned economic model, most of the means of production are publicly owned, and there will be no so-called economic crisis, and the government departments also raise a large number of idlers.

But with a population of 100 million, even if there is an unemployment rate of 1%, it is 10 million unemployed, which is quite a terrible number!

If there are fewer people, there is not enough, and when there are more people, the competitive pressure is high, and it is more difficult to manage. This is the reality before us.

"Moreover, it is impossible to ask all the 850 million people born in the future to engage in cutting-edge scientific research, and even if human beings become smarter, it will become more difficult for them to develop so many disciplines in depth. Our society is still difficult to do, all of them are high-end population. ”

On the other hand, the highest-end jobs of the new human civilization are limited.

Unreal Lab, the most advanced lab, currently has more than 5,000 researchers.

If the population swells sixfold, will it expand to 30,000?

Of course not, there is a lot of research, and not the more people the better. Too many people are bad things, and they have to be controlled within a reasonable range.

According to Zhang Yuan's estimates, the expansion of the Unreal Lab to 10,000 people at most is enough, and there is no need to go back.

Some people think, "You can form new Unreal Labs and form a competitive relationship." ”

This plan can indeed create a lot of high-end jobs, but two or three research groups can be regarded as healthy competition, and setting up ten teams to study the same big project is a complete waste of resources, and it is more troublesome to control and supervise.

"Therefore, after the population swells, the current problem of population panic can be greatly solved, but it will inevitably produce various contradictions. How can this problem be solved? ”

Immediately afterwards, a population expert stood up to speak, saying that they had carefully estimated that a population of 8.8-1 billion is a relatively suitable state of civilization, etc., and that various positions can be fully competitive, but not excessively competitive.

"It's true that we can't create six times as many high-end jobs, and we don't need low-end jobs, but it's only the middle class that swells. The rugby-type social model is a very stable existence, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"If there is not enough competition for a long time, it is not a good thing. Human beings are creatures that need to be forced by external forces, and if they do not compete fully, it is easy to slack off. This is also the main reason why the free trade monetary system has not been abolished under the planned economic system. ”

However, how to solve the low-end population of 10 million or 20 million in the future is still a problem.

Debates ensued.

Discussions were taking place, and some experts quarreled over the question of whether arranging the waiter in the store to register would be beneficial to the new human civilization.

Some people think that "the low-tech work of watching the store is better than doing nothing and eating social welfare", and some people think that if this phenomenon really occurs, it will undoubtedly be a social regression!

As a result, some people said that some of the staff in the community are actually no different from cashiers, and the number of these community workers can be cut by at least half in today's information intelligence!

Some people also think, "There is no need to worry about low-end positions, as long as you are willing to work, it is a good thing." The development of all walks of life in the level 4 civilization is needed by a billion people...... However, at the macro level and at the micro level, the direction of operation is different. Our universities need to expand their enrollment, and we can also ease the pressure on the job force by extending compulsory education. ”

There was a commotion, and Zhang Yuan was dizzy when he heard all kinds of words, and he just wanted to sleep, so he simply yawned and narrowed his eyes.

"I really want to eat Lin Xuanxuan's golden spicy chicken roasted fragrant rice burger...... Why don't you send a text message and ask her to make one? ”

I didn't use my fingers to press the phone, I thought about it in my head, and the text message was sent.

Captain Feng was vaguely heard patting the table and said loudly, "...... As the population base expands and the material conditions improve, so will the number of those who do not want to make progress! The differentiation of the differentiation, the elimination of the early elimination! We should adopt a more radical education model to improve the quality of the population. ”

"Captain, you can't say that like two species...... Educating ...... with virtual worlds"

"Aren't those with a lifespan of seventy or eighty years old and those with a lifespan of five, six, or even a thousand years two species?"

“…… And what about despising those who have sunk? ”

"But there's no clear division of disdain! How to quantitatively despise? Good grades despise bad grades? That's a big spree! ”

"The Sink is not a bad achiever!"
