Research from the UN's International Labour Organization indicates that generative AI is three times more likely to impact women's jobs than men's. The study predicts that one in four jobs could be affected, primarily through transformation rather than total replacement. Women are particularly vulnerable, with a higher percentage employed in roles at risk of automation. The findings emphasize the need for equitable labor practices as AI technology evolves, addressing fears that existing inequities will widen further in the workplace.
In high-income countries, jobs at the highest risk of automation make up 9.6% of female employment - a stark contrast to 3.5 percent of such jobs among men.
This tool helps countries across the world assess potential exposure and prepare their labor markets for a fairer digital future, said Janine Berg, Senior Economist at the ILO.
