Many are the companies that know that updating their factories including dozens of robots allows increase production while you save a lot of money in production costs long-term. Because of this it is not surprising that factories are beginning to be created, especially in China, where so there is only human presence in the maintenance department since practically all the workers are expendable because they have been replaced by robots.
With this in mind, it is not surprising that in recent months a multitude of reports have been created that show with data and numbers how technological development can affect the labor market in different professional sectors. Now, to give even more value to all who care about this topic, one created by United Nations on Trade and Development where we are shown how the use of robots can put at risk two thirds of the jobs in developing countries.
The United Nations issues a warning about the intensive use of robots in factories.
In this study, dubbed «Robots and industrialization in developing countries«Shows how the digital revolution can seriously threaten the traditional advantage that these types of states havebasically cheap labor of employees. As we spoke at the beginning, robotics will reduce labor costs so that companies will no longer need to relocate their factories to developing countries in Latin America, Asia or Africa.
Apparently and according to what is said, the arrival of all these robots to the factories affects mainly the automotive industry, the electrical industry and especially the electronics industry. Even so, light can still be seen at the end of the road as all would not be lost and, according to the UN report, the solution would be to locate all these robots in developing countries since, together with their cheap labor and the massive use of manufacturing techniques with 3D printers, these states can represent a more attractive alternative to install factories.
