It is an international problem, but you do see some places where it is a bit better...like Germany (not that they do not have problem with youth), but their system of apprentiship seems to be raising a goodly number of doers, albeit they happily use the latest CNC stuff to do it. I can live with that. I learned to cut threads with a die and make metal things using a hammer, heat, files and other manual tools. No need for that now, but I did learn how metal wants to be which was useful.
I too think that the first levels of craftsmanship should use largely manual methods to give a feel..then the automated stuff can kick in.
