A new study found that automation will affect the working lives of men and women differently
. However, fewer women than men may be adopting the technical skills that will be necessary for success in the future. For example, the study highlights that jobs that involve producing, installing, maintaining, and deploying new-generation technologies are typically held by college-educated men, and only 28% of these job hours are currently held by women.
. In emerging economies, agriculture-related occupations will also take a hit, but how this impacts men and women depends on the country. Indeed, the fast-growing area of healthcare for our aging population could account for 25% of potential jobs gained for women. In fact, the McKinsey study estimates that
the past decade alone a variety of new occupations have emerged from machine learning and AI to ride-hailing drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft. It's hard to prepare for jobs that don't yet exist, but flexibility and basic technical and social skills will always be a plus.
