Technology
INTRODUCTION
Technology ; refer to the science or knowledge that is put into
practical and uses to solve different problems , or invention of different
usefully material and tools for practical uses. Technology also created the
faster development of different countries in the world but was mostly in Europe
continent which later led to the rise of different working class to struggle
for their right. The rise of working class in Europe was due to the shortage
and lack of works in different places while others caused by presence of works
but due to lack of working management also was its impact of technology to
working class in Europe example of factor
which facilities technology advance was geographical location example in
Britain where was the are which is full rounded with ocean and other raw
material and natural source of energy such as presence of coal which were used
to generate different machines and also round of water in Britain facilitated
the development of agriculture through establishment of irrigation system of
cultivation which facilitated the easy collection of food and raw material for
industrial use. There were current perspective in abroad one discussed that
there are six type of technology which are recognized which are:- teaching technology,
technology of productivity, instructional technology, assistive technology,
medical technology and information technology, this was proposed by ( Black
Hurst & Edyburn, 2000 ). This explained some of how technology are using in
human in Europe after being advanced which created the different simplification
of physical work to been done through machines and robot as result of
technology and also created the faster development of life and makes the high
and long life expectancy due to the simple working even physical works because
they we're using machines and created robot to simplification in Europe and
hence created the increase of dependency ratio in the world. Two technology
also after being advanced caused the different classes in social political and
economic in the world generally due to the modernization of different tools and
equipment for human and animal realing .
This question is divided and explained in three parts, the
first part explained the introduction of technology in general and its causes
for it's rise in Europe which created the working class in Europe. The second
parts explained in this question is main body which explain the of technology
to working class in Europe and next part explained the conclusion of the
question and the last section is reference of what is written and where the
works is cited from.
MAIN
BODY
Income in
equalty; the first and second industrial revolution spurred strong in income
levels the frontier economies including the united States and Western Europe
relatively to rest of the world. This contributed to the consistent widening of
global in equality from the 1820s up to the 1990s ( Bourguignon and Morrison,
2002 ).as show in figure 3,7 miranovic ( 2016 ) noted that global in equality
levels saw Sam stabilization in the 1980s and began a shape decline in 2003. In
equality within countries has exhibited heterogeneous trends across regions and
time periods. Milanovic (2016), defined global inequality as summation of two
components. The first is weighted sum of the differences in mean incomes among
nations, or the " location " components. The second is the weighed
sum of inequities of personal incomes within nations or the "class"
component.
Technology and globalization; globalization is massive increase in cross
border trade and financial flows as well as too much lesser extent in migration
is often seen as main driver of trends across n labour markets and inequality
in both developed and developing countries. The global of shift manufacturing
towards developing economies in Asia has also been a factory for the emergence
of the middle class in many Asian and developing countries as it allowed for
the movement of of workers from agriculture to better paying jobs in
manufacturing. Technological change and globalization are not independent for
each other and are indeed closely related .
Technology and the organization of work; the current technological
changes do not only impact the number of jobs and tasks workers will need to be
able to perform, but also the overall organization of work. Particularly in
developed countries, becomes less firm centric. Emerging large technology firms
increasingly resemble platform, which employed only the few workers themselves
. instead work tasks are performed by individual contractors who may work for a
variety of firms at the same time. Cooperation and competition among firms has
become a dominant work arrangement especially among smaller high-tech firms. On
one hand the shift away from traditional work arrangement to contingent work
can increase flexibility and create gainful employment opportunities for people
( often women ) for whom standard full time employment conflicts with family
work education.however many non standard work arrangement lead to precariously
work relations, with workers having to bear employment and income risk by
themselves. In turn precarious work is negatively related to occupational
health and safety ( Quinlan et all.2001 from NASEM et al.2017,p.85 ).
Long term
implications for employment and inequality; essentially all president data is
fully consistent with the view that ' this time is not different '. Despite
uncertainty on timing and details, the current time can be characterized by
rapid technological progress that is disruptive as it leads to job creation and
destruction but also ensures steady, though unbalanced, progress in
productivity, wages, and employment. Nevertheless, alternative scenarios should
not necessarily be dismissed. One view characterizes the current prospects by a
lack of true technological. While Gordon ( 2012 ) and others acknowledge the
introduction and others are of the view that new technologies mean faster and
better measurement, faster business experimentation, more efficient spreading
of ideas and easier scaling-up of successful innovations. As this effects
multiply each other, they can accelerate the productivity gains one
organizational setups adapted. The consequences of technology- driven
productivity acceleration could indeed be different than what we observed in
the past.
National
policies and need for global cooperation; as previously discussed,
technological innovations is the main engine of productivity growth, but can
also be a major force of disruption. How the new waves of technologies will shape
labour markets and income distribution, ultimately depends on the institutions
and policies that are in a place at the national and global level. In devising
policies and sharping institutions , Government need to take into account that
they operates with significantly uncertainty, and this would support a trial
and error approach than can be adopted according to new experiences and
developments. Overall governments play a active role in promoting the
development and use of new breakthrough technologies. At the same time, they
are often restricted to foreign firms and few large domestic firms. However, as
industrial development typically requires both local capabilities and foreign
investments, governments are called to promote national capacity to innovates,
including among small forms.
International cooperation; whereas most of the policy areas discussed in
the previous sections are domestic by nature international cooperation play a
crucial role in ensuring that new technologies can indeed be developed and
employed in a way that moves the world closer sustainable development. In this
context, international cooperation includes at least three different
dimensions: addressing the cross border aspects of new technologies, sharing of
and learning from national experiences, and support for disadvantage countries.
From a global perspective, there is a remarkable divided between studies
focusing on developed countries and those on developing countries. While there
are numerous empirical studies on the opportunities and challenges associated
with the new technologies for the united States and Europe, very little work
has been done regarding their consequences for low-income countries. Hence
there is clear need to bridge this divide by encouraging research on impact of
technological revolution on labour markets and income inequality in developing
countries particular LDCs .In all countries such research on the link between
technology and labour markets needs to address not only job destruction but
also job creating process and how public polices can effectively shape the
process. For example, policies need to take into account how firms adopt new
and advanced technologies to replace or compliment their work force, and what
are the consequence of this decisions for the demands for labour at various
skill levels.
CONCLUSION
The
widespread adoption of current technological breakthroughs, often labeled the
fourth industrial revolution, will impact not only labour markets and income
inequality, but will also lead to broader societal change. The nature of these
impacts and challenges, however, will remain unknown. Reducing the uncertainty
of local , national and global impacts by further research and debate at the
united nations would contributes to better prepare to face this new challenges.
Such research could also explore the linkages bet the technology revolution and
other key global trends, including demographic changes such as ageing and
migration climate change, and the overall need for transforming economies and
societies to achieve sustainable development.
