Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 658: Low-end population and high-end population

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

In the time of the earth, there have been many similar situations: the large-scale application of automated equipment has caused a large number of workers to be laid off, and those capitalists who have made money will not go to the hard-earned Money to support laid-off workers for free.

A billionaire, if he is asked to use five million for charity, in order to gain a good reputation, the billionaire may agree.

But if the rich man wants to donate most of his annual profits to support the poor, he will most likely oppose it.

In this case, how can these laid-off workers support themselves? They do not have enough technology to engage in more high-end industries, and the entire society does not have enough jobs, they have lost their source of income.

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

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

This is the origin of the economic crisis and social unrest.

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

This method is widely used in low-end service industries and labor-intensive industries. Like an unmanned bus, it needs to be equipped with an emergency driver, a conductor, and maybe a security guard. This created three positions at once, and the effect was not bad.

These occupations do not require any skills, and they can be started after a short period of random training. The government forces a large number of unemployed people to arrange, which can save a lot of trouble.

This is how the earth civilization does.

At the end of the discussion, Captain Feng said: "This method of forcing intensive labor positions can stabilize society and create a large number of jobs, but... it sucks, really!"

"Everyone, what is the age!"

Zhang Yuan moved in his heart and stroked his hair. This questioning was a bit interesting.

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

But with a population of 1 billion, even a 1% unemployment rate is 10 million vagrants. This number is quite terrifying!

Less people are not enough. If there are more people, the competition pressure will increase, and it will be more difficult to manage. This is the reality in front of us.

"Furthermore, it is impossible to require all the 850 million people born in the future to engage in cutting-edge scientific research. Even if human beings become smarter, the various disciplines have developed so much and it has become more difficult. Ours Society, it’s still difficult to achieve, all of them are high-end population."

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

Unreal Lab, the most high-end laboratory, currently has more than 5,000 researchers.

If the population expands six times, will it expand to 30,000?

Of course not, there is a lot of research, not as many people as possible. If there are too many people, bad things will happen, and it must be kept within a reasonable range.

According to Zhang Yuan's estimation, it is enough for Unreal Lab to expand to 10,000 people at most, and there is no need to come again.

Some people think, "New illusory laboratories can be formed, and a competitive relationship can be formed."

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

"So after population expansion, the current population panic problem can be solved by a large margin, but all kinds of contradictions will inevitably arise. How can this problem be solved?"

Immediately afterwards, a population expert stood up and spoke, saying that they have carefully estimated that a population of 880 million to 1 billion people is a more suitable state of civilization, etc. Each position can fully compete, but not excessive competition.

"We really can't create six times as many high-end jobs, and low-end jobs are not needed, but the expansion is only the middle-level population. The rugby-type social model is very stable, and there is nothing to worry about. "

"If long-term insufficient competition is not a good thing. Human beings are a kind of creatures that need external forces. Insufficient competition can easily lead to slack. This is also the main reason why the free trade currency system has not been abolished under the planned economic system. Reason."

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

A variety of debates followed.

During the discussion, some experts quarreled on the question of "whether arranging a cashier at the store is beneficial to the new human civilization".

Some people think that "the low-tech work of looking at a store is better than doing nothing to eat social welfare", and some people think that if this phenomenon does occur, it will undoubtedly be a regression of society!

As a result, some people said that the nature of some staff in the community is actually no different from cashiers. In today's intelligent information, the number of these community staff can be cut by at least half!

Some people think, “In fact, there is no need to worry about low-end jobs. As long as you are willing to work, it’s a good thing. The development of level 4 civilization in all walks of life requires 1 billion people... But the macro level and the micro level are operational. The direction is different. Our university needs to expand enrollment, and we can also extend compulsory education to ease the pressure on the job."

It was noisy, and Zhang Yuan was dizzy with all kinds of sayings. He just wanted to sleep. He simply yawned and squinted his eyes.

"I really want to eat Lin Xuanxuan’s Golden Spicy Chicken Roasted Fragrant Rice Fort...Would you like to send a text message~IndoMTL.com~ to ask her to make one?"

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

Vaguely heard Captain Feng patted the table and said loudly: "...The population base expands and material conditions improve. Those who do not want to progress will also increase! The differentiation should be divided, and the elimination should be done as soon as possible. Get out of it! We should adopt a more radical education model to improve the quality of the population."

"Captain, you can't say that, it's like two species...Education in a virtual world..."

"Aren't the two species that live between seventy and eighty years, and those who live for five, six hundred or even a thousand years?"

"...what's wrong with despising those who perish?"

"But there is no clear division of contempt for the interval! How to despise quantitatively? Good grades despise poor grades? Then I despise a large area!"

"Sinkers are not people with poor grades!"
