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

During the earth period, many similar situations happened: the large-scale application of automation equipment caused a large number of workers to be laid off, and those capitalists who made money would not spend their hard-earned money on Free support for laid-off workers.

If a billionaire is asked to use five million to do charity, in order to gain a good reputation, the millionaire may agree.

But if the rich man were to donate most of his annual profits to support the poor, he would most likely object.

Under such circumstances, how can these laid-off workers support themselves? They don't have enough skills to engage 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 excess production capacity.

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 the periodic occurrence of this phenomenon, the former earth civilization tried to forcibly create jobs. Robots are good and 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 never be able to continue.

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. The son created three jobs, and the effect is not bad.

These occupations don't require any skills, and you can get started after just a while of training. The government forcibly arranges a large number of jobless people, which can save a lot of trouble.

This is the practice of earth civilization.

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

"Everyone, what era is it!"

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he stroked his hair. This questioning is a bit interesting.

The main body of the new human civilization is the planned economy model, most of the means of production are public ownership, there will be no so-called economic crisis, and the government departments can support a large number of idlers.

However, with a population of 1 billion, even if the unemployment rate is 1%, there are 10 million unemployed people. This number is quite scary!

Fewer people are not enough, and more people are more competitive and more difficult to manage. This is the reality before us.

"Moreover, it is impossible to require all the 850 million people born in the future to engage in cutting-edge scientific research work. Even if human beings become smarter, it will become more difficult with the in-depth development of various disciplines. Our society is still It’s hard to do, all of them are high-end population.”

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

Unreal Labs, the most high-end lab, currently has more than 5,000 researchers.

If the population expands by 6 times, is it necessary to expand to 30,000?

Of course not, there are many studies, the more people the better. Too many people is a bad thing, so it must be controlled within a reasonable range.

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

Some people think, "New unreal laboratories can be formed one after another, forming a competitive relationship."

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 problem of population panic can be greatly solved, but various contradictions will inevitably arise. How to solve this problem?"

Immediately afterwards, a population expert stood up and spoke, saying that they had carefully estimated that a population of 880-100 million is a more suitable state of civilization, etc., and that various jobs can be fully competitive, but not excessively competitive.

"We really can't create six times as many high-end jobs, and we don't need low-end jobs, but the expansion is only the middle-class population. The rugby-type social model is a very stable existence, and there is nothing to worry about."

"If there is insufficient competition for a long time, it is not a good thing. Human beings are creatures that need to be forced by external forces. Without sufficient competition, it is easy to slack off. This is also the main reason why the free trade currency system has not been abolished under the planned economic system."

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

Various debates ensued.

While discussing and discussing, some experts quarreled over the issue of "whether it is beneficial to the new human civilization to arrange cashiers in the store".

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

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

Some people think, "There is no need to worry about low-end jobs. As long as you are willing to work, it is a good thing. For the development of all walks of life in level 4 civilization, a population of 1 billion is needed... But the direction of operation is different from the macro level and the micro level. .Our universities need to expand enrollment, and we can also ease the pressure on jobs by extending compulsory education.”

All kinds of arguments made Zhang Yuan dizzy and dizzy. He just wanted to sleep, so he simply yawned and closed his eyes.

"I really want to eat the golden spicy chicken grilled fragrant rice burger made by Lin Xuanxuan... How about sending a text message and asking her to make one?"

I didn't even need to touch the phone with my fingers. After thinking about it in my head, the text message was sent.

I vaguely heard Captain Feng pat the table, and said loudly: "...The population base expands, material conditions improve, and those who do not want to make progress will also increase! Those who should be divided, those who should be eliminated should be eliminated as soon as possible! We should adopt a more radical education model to improve the quality of the population."

"Captain, you can't say it like this, make it look like two species... use the virtual world to educate..."

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

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

"But there is no clear division of contempt intervals! How do you despise quantitatively? Good grades despise those with poor grades? Then you will despise a large area!"

"A perisher is not a person with poor grades!"
