Japanese unemployment rate seems to be around 2,6%. They might genuinely lack truck certified people, especially depending on how many of that % is short term unemployed and whatnot
Japan’s population is aging, which is true of all developed countries. Pretty much every other developed country solves this with immigration, something Japan has avoided.
If you overhaul society so that it doesn’t end up being just the uberwealthy earning even more profits while even less entry level jobs are available to most of the population.
Then pay to train people and ensure them a stable job. Offer a sweet deal, as workers are supposed to be agents who work in their self interest. The capitalism the right uses to argue for freer markets should demand this, but when capitalists get angry about labor shortages and act like they simply deserve loyal workers, it shows that they never gave a shit about liberal ideals. They only want to fuel their greed and fucked up desires to own other human beings as much as they can.
You mean to switch a job? Because we don’t know if those unemployed people are just temporarily between jobs, alkies, shut-in neets or what. Just paying to train them might not be a silver bullet, could just mean some other field will now face the employee shortage
And then the, “free market,” will decide what’s important based on how necessary it is for society. It will drive innovation to get more efficiency from workers, while disincentivizing poor conditions that would cause employees to jump ship for better work.
Besides, forklift operators are less necessary for society to function than something like doctors or nurses. While the free market can adjust for forklifts by training operators and decreasing the volume of non necessity sales the forklifts handle, lack of healthcare workers leads to far more death and suffering. That destabilizes society and hurts productivity in serious ways.
It’s actually in the best interests of the wealthy to ensure services like healthcare are affordable and that those workers are paid well. Not only could them or their loved ones experience medical emergencies where their wealth can’t be leveraged fast enough, but their workers will be less productive than those in countries with good healthcare, who will eventually out compete them.
The delusion of the rich and powerful is that they believe it’s possible to win at the game of exploitation and cruelty in the modern era. Some fail to grasp that people will always be dangerous when you make them miserable, attacking whatever they think is the threat. Some elites recognize the danger of unhappy people, using tribalism and hate for others to redirect the anger. However, this leads to war internally and externally, and modern war is worse than war of the past. It’s easy to destroy, and hard to prevent destruction. The costs of war are massive, and exploitation of other humans is the fuel for all human conflict. Good faith deals that benefit everyone are the best way to prevent violence in a closed system like earth.
Anytime I hear “labour shortage” I remember what it really means is not enough people willing or able to work slave wages.

Who do that if robots work though

I don’t get it. Does immigration have some advantage to robots in this case?

If an apple costs a dollar and you don’t wanna pay that, there isn’t an apple shortage. The apples are there.
