"As technologies and the demand for certain services change, many workers will lose thier job. The responsibility for those people to adjust to such change should belong to the individual worker, not to government or to business"

 

Whether the individual workers should be responsible to adjust to such change as the result of technologies and the demand for certain services change. In fact nobody can ignore the truth that those people should take efforts to adjust. But who can take the responsibility to effectively adjust to such change? The author says that the responsibility completely belongs to each worker. In my opinion, however, the government or business participation is the essential factor to ensure effective adjustment. 

First, government and business can provide further financial support for skill development and training greater than individual finance. For instance, budget and economic action plan from government could encourage and thoroughly expand to help workers to improve their skills such as free training and discount training cost. Additionally, it will support their training needs of all sizes, in all sectors and especially workers in disadvantage communities lacking development opportunity. Moreover, it makes easier chance for them to have specific training course.  

Second, thorough help from government and business to workers waiting for assistance, not only develops their skills that will support their return to work but also improves quality of life for workers in many communities such as sustained employment, career progression and increased income. Moreover, in terms of business, higher skilled workers are the path to higher productivity, competitiveness and profitability and also strengthen our economy. Besides, this help will reduce job mobility problem due to lacking skills. For example, workers will choose to improve their skills instead of changing their job.  

Despite these reasons, however, it depends on whether workers will accept this adjustment or not. Some workers are eager to lean new skills, but others resist gaining new knowledge and adhere with traditional skills. Furthermore, corruption problems still happen until now. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure this budget or economic action plan will be thoroughly distributed to citizens. 

All things considered, to a certain extent I disagree with the author that the individual workers should be responsible to adjust by themselves. In contrast, government and business are the essential factor to ensure effective adjustment to economy and life quality for workers.
