Unskilled Labour
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:SOCI370/Wilson
Indeed, essentially unskilled labour is very hard to "make disappear" (until/unless it is automated), but as far as the workplace profile of Canada, unskilled jobs have moved out of the country with the rise of globalisation, and Canada has since taken on a more "tertiary sector" (service sector) role in the global economy.
Yes, globalization is a good example! Wilson also argues that globalization is one of the reasons of decreased demand of the unskilled workers. However out of curiosity; don't Macdonalization require unskilled workers? Maybe capitalism (Macdonalization in this case) also creates demand for unskilled, less educated workers?
