This text confuses technological development with societal decay. In the past there used to be zero responsibility associated with given a man a job, no taxes, no benefit, you could fire him at any time. In this kind of environment there are no unemployable people. Better yet, there is always a different job you could pursue if you are unhappy with your current one.
Unemployment is just damage done by taxes and regulations, it is not an intrinsic feature of technological advancement, just like de-industrialization is not an obligate step just because you advance economically.
Pensions and benefits are not products of need, but products of an efficient economy. Rich countries have welfare systems, not poor countries which "need" them more. Welfare spending is only a drain on society, men are better off just paying for healthcare etc by themselves than a government wedging itself in between and ruining everything.
Technological development has somewhat lessened the burdens of the bureaucratic expansion, but not completely.
