Judging from the past, we won't be able to solve this challenge. Some thought that the industrial revolution would let everyone work shorter hours but still make enough money, but the result was fewer workers working for longer, and most of the rewards of production going to capital rather than labour. The resurgence of right-wing movements means that any ideas about sharing national income with the unemployed will probably be laughed out of the room.
