Humanity's race for greater efficiency, productivity and progress may well be beginning to show its dark side. For decades, the universal truth has been that the better we are at these categories, the more everyone will benefit. Well, it turns out that might not be entirely true. This article aims to argue and explain why we should be concerned about the future of the workplace, and more specifically its mechanization. It is based on the fact that the world has evolved technologically and mechanized in recent decades and that some jobs have inevitably disappeared. We know that these jobs will not come back, but we do not know whether economies will be able to maintain unemployment levels between 5 and 10% in the long term under such conditions, taking into account the world population more than twice that . as big as it was 50 years ago. In the first part of this article, we will examine the beginning of this phenomenon, its roots and its consequences so far in the real world. Ultimately, based on the gathered facts and knowledge, potential solutions to this next big structural change in work will be presented. The reason we need to discuss this issue is primarily because the problem may be deeply rooted in the world of work. the attitude and philosophy of modern business and entrepreneurship, which has not changed much since the industrial revolution: human economic thinking (competitiveness), technological progress and productivity. Europe and the United States are the two regions of the world most affected by mechanization and automation, as they are both at a similar level of economic and technological development and wealth. However, in today's globalized world, less developed countries will likely soon follow, if they have not already done so.
