Scotland and Robotics

Automation may threaten 88,000 (one in every six jobs) Scottish public sector jobs within 14 years, says report.

Business advisory firm Deloitte said administrative and operative roles were at greatest risk.


Much has been made in the past that robots would create more leisure time for society in general but outside of the automotive industry, little of this has come to fruition. Unfortunately, in this economic system, the benefits of automation accrue to the profits of the employing class at the expense of the laid-off workers rather than it being an asset to society as a labour-saving device that would lessen the work-load of all.
