Employment and Unemployment: Past, Present and Future
Keywords:
Labour economics, technological change;, employment and unemploymentAbstract
At individual level losing a job is a catastrophe, and the uncertainties associated with the technological change, and the globalization of the economy, causes personal tensions. Nevertheless I am optimist, when the issue is correctly approached. Both in Argentina, and in the world, more people work today than 50 or 100 years ago. The key lies in accepting the inevitable changes and deciding accordingly. In school students have to learn to think, much more than adquire technical abilities.
