With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, machines became the main source of power for manufacturing and transportation. These machines were mostly dependent on fossil fuels—oil and coal. The world’s economy shifted from an agrarian-based economy to an oil-based economy. Today many people believe the world needs to shift again from an oil-based economy to a clean-energy economy. Just as the move from an agrarian-based economy to an oil-based economy created a destabilizing effect on the poor and working class, how might the shift to a clean-energy economy affect today’s poor and working class? How will the shift affect less-developed nations in comparison to more-developed nations?

Well of course, it would overall benefit the work ethic there, improving it and also causing the workers to be healthier, therefore, more people might want to work there. More items could be made, and the poor and working class may gain more money as well, and their mental health would be better, I would assume. The less developed nations would have a chance to gain more profit and more materials, though I'm not really sure.

This is sort of an answer, you should elaborate on it though.

Answer:

    An industrial revolution is characterized by abrupt and radical changes, motivated by the incorporation of technologies, with consequences in the economic, social and political spheres.

    According to theorists, the world is going through an epoch transition and would be at the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution or the so-called Industry 4.0. The development and incorporation of technological innovations will radically change the world as we know it and shape the industry for years to come.

    Despite the jobs of the future, thousands of jobs are expected to be phased out, as Industry 4.0 will be able to increase production without having to create new jobs. In this scenario, the gap between those with low and high qualifications will widen, which can create greater social inequality and a  new type of “proletariat”.

    With the increase in unemployment and the need for sustainable growth, researchers are already studying new economic models, such as reducing the workday and measures of social support networks, such as the State paying a minimum income to the citizen.
