Shrinking workforce? Ugly receptionist? No problem!

Whether you can't find enough caregivers or would like stunning receptionists, Japan has the answer: robots.


Robots could fill the jobs of 3.5 million people in graying Japan by 2025, a thinktank says, helping to avert worker shortages as the country's population shrinks.

We may never stop men from hiring hot receptionists, but maybe they'll stop sleeping with them!
