Skilled Labor Shortage: A Self-Made Problem?

Social security systems increasingly remove the incentive for self-improvement. When people receive benefits without having to progress, the motivation to gain knowledge and skills often fades. But in a world that’s becoming more complex, we need exactly that: highly skilled professionals in essential, productive fields like engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare.

The result? Fewer people understand critical economic processes, leaving key industries dependent on a small group of experts. If something goes wrong there, economic instability becomes a real risk.

A system meant to support society could be weakening its foundation.
