Just like DEI, sustainability efforts, I predict we will see new initiatives for forced hiring of Juniors.
Implementation can differ (e.g. ratio of interns vs total headcount and so on), but it is the time for governments to intervene and force corporations to train people, humans are resource for the government, they need to polish that resource to thrive.
As someone who both recoils at DEI and is at least a decade too old to benefit from a policy like this personally, I have to say this honestly sounds like a great idea.
Both avoids the tragedy of the commons (why would a corporation pay to train a junior when they can just let their competition do it then poach the experienced senior) and gives more opportunity to a new generation that are frankly getting economically screwed over enough as-is.
i mean they could train them for free in universities. just pay them to go to majors that actually matter for the economy

Humans are a resource for the government? Jesus man, slavery has been abolished in the West.

The professor's jobs are to TEACH students.
Research grants are given by governments mainly to first TEACH students and secondly to get something useful.
If they are not doing their job they should be fired.
That's not DEI or anything of the sort. That's common sense.
They can do their research at private companies if it's worth it.
