Deskilling is the process by which skilled labor within an industry or economy is eliminated by the introduction of technologies operated by semiskilled or unskilled workers. This results in cost savings due to lower investment in human capital, and reduces barriers to entry, weakening the bargaining power of the human capital.〔Braverman, Harry (1974) ''Labor and monopoly capital''. New York: Monthly Review〕 It is criticized〔Lerner, Sally (1994) "The future of work in North America: Good jobs, bad jobs, beyond jobs". ''Futures'', 26(2):185-196. DOI 10.1016/0016-3287(94)90108-2. ()〕 for decreasing quality, demeaning labor (rendering work mechanical, rather than thoughtful and making workers automatons rather than artisans), and undermining community. == Examples == Examples of deprofessionalization can be found across many professions, and include: * assembly line workers replacing artisans and craftsmen〔 * CNC machine tools replacing machinists * super-automatic espresso machines replacing skilled baristas * doctors; the M.D. is being replaced by "Health Care Providers" * nurses * pharmacists * social workers * librarians * teachers *shop workers (whose mathematical skills are decreasing due to new technology). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deskilling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
