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.

Artificial Intelligence and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda in South-East Asia
This research conducted by UN Women and the UN University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) examines the opportunities and risks of AI from a women, peace and security (WPS) lens in South-East Asia, with a focus on four types of gender biases in AI which will need to be addressed before the region can fully benefit from new technological developments: discrimination, stereotyping, exclusion and insecurity.
Its objective is to inform governments, policy makers, international organizations, civil society organisations and the private sector interested in AI in the region on the risks and opportunities which these technologies bear, addressing an important gap in understanding on this issue. Given existing lacunes in AI and the WPS agenda, this research also contributes to the global conversation on ethics and norms.
Toolkit: Youth Guide To End Online Gender-Based Violence
In an era where digital footprints define our existence, online gender-based violence (OGBV) and Technology Facilitated OGBV (TFGBV) cast a long, oppressive shadow on the freedom and safety of women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals. It's more than a personal struggle; it's a societal battle that widens the gender digital divide and threatens our collective march towards a just, equitable world.
The Youth Guide To End Online Gender-Based Violence toolkit is an actionable learning and knowledge product developed by the 30 for 2030 Network, a youth and civil society leadership cohort in the Asia-Pacific region supported by UN Women. The toolkit is a downloadable PDF, designed to be easily accessible for anyone to read and utilize to raise awareness.
