"and therefore making every worker's skill and experience important, instead of them being just a replaceable cog"

Problem with this is that most workers don't have the skills and experience, and self-teaching can only go so far in a lot of specialized areas.

Further, you run into the issue of a worker who is, say, 50 and has just been 'automated out'. Learning an entirely new skill set and trying to get into a field where your previous experience may not even be applicable at that age would be brutal, if its even possible in many instances.

To make matters worse, some developed countries (UK and USA to name a couple) have taken to the mindset of cutting education and skills training and prioritized those areas even lower so that it'll only become that much harder for workers to build up skills in the first place...
