Policy Brief %U https://www.oecd.org/employment/Going-Digital-the-Future-of-Work-for-Women.pdf %X a closer look at the evidence suggests a mixed picture. Women and men have just as much to gain and fear from new digital technologies. Women may benefit from increased flexibility in work but the unscrupulous use of new atypical work arrangements may also reduce job quality. Automation has so far been most common in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing, where men dominate. But in the future, automation is expected to spread, albeit to different degrees, across all sectors and most occupations, including those traditionally dominated by women, such as retail trade, food and beverage services. In addition, jobs are likely to grow the most in business services, health, education and social services – many of which have been traditionally female-dominated. At the same time, persistent gender differences in field of study may mean that women will benefit less from the new job opportunities in STEM-related occupations. The digital transformation offers an opportunity to lower some of the barriers women in the workforce have been facing. But this will not happen automatically and, without action, barriers could even increase.
