Globalization and the trend toward using technology to replace human workers are not likely to slow down any time soon. Unless political leaders step in to ensure more equal distribution of jobs and wealth, the world economy is in danger of losing balance. However, these developments aren’t entirely bad. In fact, these changes have created a rise in higher-level management jobs. Governments can meet the need for skilled labor by supporting education and training opportunities for unskilled workers who have lost their jobs. In this way, displaced workers may be able to get the qualifications they need to succeed.
