Are women at higher risk of automation in the workplace?
The last few years have seen a number of reports attempting to explore how the future of work will unfold, and one of the most commonly cited was that produced by McKinsey in 2017. The report predicted that while less than 5% of occupations were fully automatable, some 60% of jobs had tasks that could be automated around 30%.
It's perhaps no surprise, therefore, that McKinsey should return to the future of work with a new report that attempts to fill the gap and explore whether the risk of automation is shared equally between men and women.The report is largely a rehash of the data used in 2017, but with a particular focus applied to the female portion of the workforce.

“Both EU mobile citizens and third country nationals have a higher likelihood of being employed in jobs with high automation potential than nationals, even when socio-demographic characteristics are taken into account,” the authors say. “However, the likelihood decreases as educational attainment increases, for all, but more so for migrants.
