Generative AI is significantly influencing the job market, creating new roles while disrupting others, particularly impacting women's employment. Recent data indicates that fewer women are employed in augmented roles compared to men, while a larger percentage are found in jobs at risk of disruption. This trend is evident not only in the US but across 95% of studied countries. Additionally, women are increasingly underrepresented in STEM fields, illustrating a broader issue of gender disparity in technology and leadership roles. Addressing these disparities is crucial for promoting fairness in the evolving workplace.
A double disadvantage arises for women in the AI transformation, as fewer women are in augmented roles while more are in positions facing disruption.
The data reveals a stark reality: in the US, 24.1% of men work in augmented occupations compared to only 20.5% of women.
Women represent just 12.2% of STEM C-suite level roles despite being 38.5% of STEM graduates in 2021, illustrating severe gender disparity in tech.
To secure an equitable future in the workplace, it’s crucial for business leaders to address gender disparities and ensure fairness in advancement.
