论文摘要
自动化对我们经济和社会的影响比以往任何时候都更加明显,在接下来的十年或两年中,将近一半的工作有被机器完全执行的工作。政策制定者和学者们都倡导了普遍的基本收入(UBI),以此作为解决这个问题的全部解决方案。本文研究了UBI在解决自动化主导的大规模劳动力位移时的缺点,通过分析先前的UBI弥补的实验的经验数据,并提出理论预测,这些预测突出了UBI对改善相关生活水平和就业能力的影响的令人失望的影响。最后,应提出建议,以保留现有的经济经验测试的福利计划,同时加强资金和研发,以提供更多最新的工人培训计划,以此作为对技术失业的更有效解决方案。
The effects of automation on our economy and society are more palpable than ever, with nearly half of jobs at risk of being fully executed by machines over the next decade or two. Policymakers and scholars alike have championed the Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a catch-all solution to this problem. This paper examines the shortcomings of UBI in addressing the automation-led large-scale displacement of labor by analyzing empirical data from previous UBI-comparable experiments and presenting theoretical projections that highlight disappointing impacts of UBI in the improvement of relevant living standards and employability metrics among pensioners. Finally, a recommendation shall be made for the retainment of existing means-tested welfare programs while bolstering funding and R&D for more up-to-date worker training schemes as a more effective solution to technological unemployment.
