The statistic depicts the results of a survey conducted between May and June 2018 in Japan about people's opinion on the possibility of inequality between rich and poor to worsen due to robots and computers doing much of human's current work. The survey revealed that the majority of respondents, about 83 percent, thought that the economic equality would likely worsen, if robots were able to do much of human labor.
