This may not happen anytime soon in India , it could
soon be a reality in Japan
If in doubt , look at the following figures for Robot
Population :
* Japan............... 310,508
* USA................. 168,623
*
Germany.......... 161,988
* South
Korea....... 138,883
* China............. 96,924
*
Canada............ 18,387
*
UK................ .. 15,046
* India............... 7,840
* Brazil................ 7,576
Read these figures in following context :
# In last 10
years , Japan's population shrunk by 1 MILLION people
# Last week , in
New York and California , minimum wage for unskilled
labor was raised to $ 15 per hour ( approx Rs
1000 per HOUR ! )
# A fresh Civil
Engineering graduate in India gets paid Rs 15,000 / month
( Rs 75 per
hour ! )
# There are
demonstrations by citizens in most European countries which
are trying to
introduce " Austerity Measures "(aka " Employee Benefits ")
# My following
blog :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First Industrial Revolution started in Britain , with the
invention of steam engine , which multiplied human power many times
With help of steam engine power , one man could do the job of
ten men
Human productivity went up sharply , enabling production of ten
times more goods , in ten times less time
Thousands of factories came up ; first in Britain , then in USA
and gradually spreading to rest of Europe
But it took over a century to reach the poor countries of Asia /
Africa / China
Under colonial rule , these countries were forced to export own
raw materials to industrialized countries at a very cheap price and import their
factory-made finished goods at very high prices
But as poor countries started catching up on factory-based
manufacturing using its cheap labour , the developed countries are now worried
!
One time importers of finished goods are now exporting those very
products to the developed countries , which are finding it difficult to compete
with the emerging markets
An outstanding example of this is the rise of China , in the
past 25 years as the , " Factory of the World "
But Western countries are not resigned to their fate of a
lowered
" Standard of Living "
They are gearing up to usher :
The Second Industrial Revolution !
In the form of Robots :
Robots manufacturing cars / appliances / machinery /
anything
Robots 3 D printing products from designs downloaded from Net
Robots managing health care in hospitals
Robots serving food in restaurants
Robots carrying out office jobs
Robots teaching in schools
Robots entertaining
Robots everywhere !
And these are :
And these are :
Robots which work 24 hours/day and do not ask for a salary
Robots that do not " go slow "or go on a strike
Robots that do not demand " Quotas / Reservations
"
Robots that do not take holidays or take " Sick Leave
"
Robots that do not resign / demand promotion
Robots that neither envy other robots nor sabotage
Robots that do not complain against unpleasant work
Robots that do not get tired and need rest
Robots whose production does not drop after working for 8
hours
Robots that do not demand " Overtime Pay " @ 200
% of normal
Robots that perfectly co-ordinate their tasks with other
robots
Robots that willingly " retire " at any age ,
whenever required
Robots that do not demand Unemployment/Retirement Benefits
Robots which may , some day , provide you with
emotional support when you are sick / depressed !
And this Second Industrial Revolution is NOT going to take a
hundred years to reach the shores of India
With spread of DIGITAL INDIA / Internet / Mobile Apps , it may
take , no more than 20 years !
Question :
Fearing that it will create further unemployment , shall we try
to stall its arrival ?
OR ,
Will our Self-Employed and Start Ups expedite its arrival and
imaginatively use it to create 100 new jobs for each lost job ?
Let us stop tinkering with ,
* The India Aspiration Fund
* The MakeinIndia Soft Loan Fund
* The MUDRA Bank
Converting millions of Job-seekers into Job - Creators ,
would entirely depend upon Union Government quickly passing , what I
earlier advocated as :
Start Up Act - 2015
