What the next 20 years will mean for jobs- and how to prepare - WEF
The next two decades promise a full-scale revolution in our working lives. Before we look into the next 20 years, let's take a quick look at the present - and something once considered paradoxical. We're already living in an age of a lot of robots - and a lot of jobs. As the number of robots at work has reached record levels, it's worth noting that in 2018 the global unemployment level fell to 5.2%, according to a report last month - the lowest level in 38 years. In other words, high tech and high employment don't have to be mutually exclusive. We're living the proof of that today. Given this synchronicity between employment and tech, I believe there are reasons to be hopeful that jobs will become more accessible, more flexible and more liberating over the next two decades.

EcommerceIndia's Weird Decision To Ban Vertical Integration In E-CommerceThere's near no useful economic explanation for what India is doing in the field of e-commerce - online selling of goods and products. There's good political reason of course, which is why it's happening. But then this is just a confirmation of that thought that bad politics overrides good economics. For what's happening is an absolute ban on vertical integration in that retail e-commerce. Therefore companies like Amazon and Flipkart cannot own equity stakes in any of the people who sell on the platforms. Nor, logically enough, may they sell their own products through their own marketplaces. The argument is that they are providing a marketplace. Thus they cannot have any close connection with anyone selling on that market as this would leave them open to bias - or at least accusations of such. If they did own an actual manufacturer or provider then they'd be tempted at the very least to favour that one over other users of the market infrastructure. This is to take a very narrow view EcommerceDeliverySwift Well Positioned; 40% of Consumers Order Groceries Online Once a WeekTULSA, OK,, Jan. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- AppSwarm, Corp.
