Women and Future Jobs

This brief examines how generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is reshaping labour markets and what that means for gender equality. While GAI could automate up to one-fourth of current jobs, its impact will be uneven and may fall hardest on women. The analysis relies on anonymised, aggregated insights from LinkedIn’s Economic Graph—a real-time map of the global economy covering more than one billion members worldwide, including 320 million in Asia and the Pacific. By tracking these members’ roles and skills, the brief pinpoints where risks and opportunities lie and highlights the urgent need for gender-responsive strategies as AI adoption accelerates.
