For decades, manufacturers employed waves of young migrant workers from China's countryside to work at countless factories in coastal provinces, churning out cheap toys, clothing and electronics that helped power the country's economic ascent. Now, factories are rapidly replacing those workers with automation, a pivot that's encouraged by rising wages and new official directives aimed at helping the country move away from low-cost manufacturing as the supply of young, pliant workers shrinks. It's part of a broader overhaul of the economy as China seeks to vault into the ranks of wealthy nations. But it comes as the country's growth slows amid tepid global demand that's adding pressure on tens of thousands of manufacturers. With costs rising and profits shrinking, Chinese manufacturers

China will have more robots operating in its production plants by 2017 than any other country as it cranks up automation of its car and electronics factories, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) said on Thursday (5 February 2015). Already the biggest market in the $9.5 billion global robot trade, or $29 billion including associated software, peripherals and systems engineering, China lags far behind its more industrialized peers in terms of robot density. China has just 30 robots per 10,000 workers employed in manufacturing industries, compared with 437 in South Korea, 323 in Japan, 282 in Germany and 152 in the United States. But a race by carmakers to build plants in China along with wage inflation that has eroded the competitiveness of Chinese labour will push the operational stock of industrial robots to more than double to 428,000 by 2017, the IFR estimates.

«La nostra società, in seguito a una riorganizzazione aziendale e ottimizzazione dei processi produttivi, ha installato una macchina, denominata Paint cap applicator, che svolge in automatico il medesimo lavoro sino ad oggi da lei svolto. È stata così soppressa la sua posizione».

È accaduto in Italia ad inizio maggio 2018, mentre si discute del nuovo governo politico, una multinazionale operante nel Nord Italia ha così dato il benservito ad un dipendente di 61 anni perchè il suo lavoro lo può compiere una macchina robot.

Giustamente c’è chi invita a non drammatizzare perchè teoricamente si può trovare un  lavoro liberato dai carichi più gravosi , ma nel caso specifico può avvenire che un algoritmo sostituisca anche semplici funzioni di concetto. E chi resta fuori è la persona in carne e ossa («mi mancano 5 anni per andare in pensione e ora come faccio!») con i problemi che sono immediati, mentre altri fanno profitti nella nuova organizzazione  produttiva fortemente competitiva.

Non si tratta di un ritorno al luddismo , alla rivolta degli operai che sabotavano il telaio meccanico nella prima rivoluzione industriale, ma di affrontare un problema conosciuto e prevedibile. Senza casi pietosi da esibire come frutto di un mercato ineffabile.
