Greetings HN from a first-time poster! I'm a highschool junior living in Indonesia, where income inequality is notoriously bad. The tech companies that we do have, most notably those in the e-commerce and transport space like Tokopedia and Go-Jek, do little to benefit low-income earners and small businesses. There are some limited benefits, like employment opportunities for motorcycle drivers and increased sales for mid-to-large sized businesses, but your average shanty resident isn't affected. I'm of the disposition that tech can be used to do just about anything. With this being said, what would you do with tech/what would you make to benefit the lowest-income earners and to improve social mobility? |
