Expose the lie of e-commerce creating employment

I do not know when the Internet industry has emerged a kind of argument, that E-commerce can not only create value, but also promote employment, promote the circulation of commodities, but also to change the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/10226.html "> Lifestyle。 It is doubtful that all positive and progressive labels are affixed to an industry, because everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and as a rational thinker, one should not conform to the other, but to think and discern its authenticity. For example, the issue of employment in the E-commerce industry.

Two days ago I heard that a big electric power maker directly and indirectly created 10 million jobs, and I was thinking, how many jobs did they destroy to get such a "glorious achievement"? As we all know, the real value of E-commerce is the improvement of efficiency, the increase in efficiency will inevitably lead to the reduction of personnel, while the reduction of staff can also create more employment, this is not contradictory? I don't know who is making up such a ridiculous and shameless lie.

Assuming that the total social consumption demand is 10000, the traditional industry to the total consumption demand into the value of the manpower required for 100, now E-commerce has emerged, such as someone said a network cable a computer to solve the problem, the conversion of the total consumption needs of the manpower must be significantly reduced. If this new business model requires more manpower than 100 of the line, that E-commerce is false; if less than 100, that E-commerce created employment will never be more than the elimination of employment, the more online employment created, the more people under the line of unemployment, the more multiplied, this is the obvious truth.

There is another possibility, of course, that E-commerce creates new needs and creates more jobs. This is possible, but only if the business model has the ability to stimulate total consumer demand and sell things that are not easy to buy online. According to my observation on the platform of a certain electric business giant, it does have the products such as placenta (human placenta), imitation gun, mobile phone, post machine, hacker software, ephedrine extract technical data, fake LV and Gucci, smuggled goods etc. If the social needs of these commodities are counted, the giant is really creating a lot of jobs for society, but do not know if these needs will one day be halted, leading to a slump in demand, and a large number of job losses.

If the "special needs" created by some of the big power companies are removed, e-commerce only satisfies people's need for shopping and completes part of the job transfer rather than creating new jobs. This is like a part of the people who have mastered the new technology, with a more efficient and cheaper business model, robbed the traditional industry a large group of people's jobs, the more efficient they are, the more people who are robbed of their jobs offline. Many people should realize that the free market in the past is very prosperous, the roadside alley selling shoes and hats socks are also a lot of vendors, and this two years online e-commerce impact, the past many vendors have lost this job, the rest is difficult to live.

Of course, it is not to say that other people's jobs should not be robbed, as long as it is able to enhance the efficiency of the new business model, new technologies, are worth advocating and vigorously promote. The task of e-commerce enterprise is far from what some people say so complex, use efficiency promotion to simplify the transaction process, with less human and social cost, make shopping more convenient, provide the user with better shopping experience, is the real value of the existence of electronic commerce. Those who are unemployed because of e-commerce, only through industrial development and model innovation, to stimulate the new consumer demand, only to achieve employment, but this re-employment, has nothing to do with E-commerce.

An electric-business giant publishes a report over time, using a variety of data to explain how many jobs the giant had created for the whole society, or even 11% of the total employment demand in the year. The detailed data, the rigorous report, from the surface to see how many defects, but the big premise itself is wrong. They only counted how many people in their platform to achieve direct and indirect employment, and did not count how many people due to their platform and ultimately unemployed. They only figure out how many people have poured into their platform, but forget that there is always a contradiction between the more jobs they add and the faster they increase efficiency.

China's new employment population of 12 million people each year, there is no denying that the employment problem is the top priority of government governance, but also the focus of attention. E-commerce Enterprises do not emphasize the promotion of efficiency, reduce the cost of human resources, but to cater to the government's expectations and to create a large number of employment as a false concept, to add to their own false aura. If only because of the throw of one or two companies, unscrupulous to the concept of the issue of common sense in the hands of millions of people in the palm of the hand, that these enterprises are not worth living.
