    A better planned economy than what could be done in the 20th century. In particular, the way that many western countries’ education systems and job opportunities are completely mismatched. It doesn’t even have to be some advanced AI thing. Just some modern computer-assisted statistical work. For example, a population of N size will need N amount of primary school teachers, N amount of secondary school teachers, etc etc etc. Then just match up population growth estimates with the time it takes to train someone for that job, and have that number of student spots open (plus some percentage of additional spots, to cover people who decide it’s not for them, early mortality, etc) in the universities and colleges and trade schools.
