'No one's raising their hand': Japan's labor crisis is making the case for robots taking the jobs that you don't want | Fortune
""The reality is, no one wants to do these jobs," Warson told Fortune. For example, "there are something like 600,000 unfilled jobs in the industrial space. No one's raising their hand and signing up for it.""
""In fact, they'll become so ubiquitous that a recent Bank of America report predicted people will soon own more humanoid robots than cars by 2060.""
""The UBS Global Entrepreneur Report 2026 found that 47% of entrepreneurs with industrial businesses see automation and robotics as the biggest commercial opportunity.""
Japan's population decline has led to a significant labor shortage, prompting firms to adopt automation and AI. The Ministry of Economy aims to establish a domestic AI sector, targeting 30% of the global market by 2040. Robots are expected to fill unappealing jobs, particularly in logistics and elder care. A Bank of America report predicts that by 2060, humanoid robots may outnumber cars. Entrepreneurs view automation as a major commercial opportunity, especially in industries like construction, where labor demand exceeds supply.
