South Korea has become the first country in the world where robots make up 10% of the workforce, reflecting its advanced automation adoption.
This milestone demonstrates the nation’s significant reliance on robotics, especially in the manufacturing sector.
South Korea has consistently led in global robot density rankings, with an impressive 1,000 robots per 10,000 workers, driven by technological giants like Samsung and Hyundai.
The growing integration of robotics aligns with efforts to boost productivity and address labor shortages.
This trend is part of a global shift, with robot density more than doubling worldwide in the past decade.
While this development highlights the potential for increased efficiency, it also raises questions about the impact on human employment and job displacement as automation continues to expand.
