Women are twice as vulnerable to have their jobs taken by automation, while a robotic revolution could also widen the gender pay gap

Almost two-thirds of workers in jobs at risk from automation are women, making up 9pc of the total female workforce compared to 4pc of men, the Institute for Public Policy Research found.

The Telegraph trying to be edgy by echoing the woke brigade

The fact is maximum Women employee had been over paid/hr for job they actually do. Its up to them to work hard , add value to org & not look for extra pay merely on basis of gender. There R many women paid even more per hr job they do. Recent google cases priced it. SpeakUpMan

yes cause women have no real value

Typical telegraph nonsense... Why would employers replace the cheaper employees with robots? 🤔

Thanks guardian

The likelihood of getting their jobs 'taken' as well as the earnings gap are both because of the kind of jobs they're more likely to choose. It's not oppression and there's no one to blame but the women choosing those jobs

Learn to code. (?)

Wow robots will usher in the traditional family comeback

19Muzza 🙄

Oh FFS.

If this is true then it only proves that women have no marketable skills. So which is it?

If women are really paid less for the same amount of work, why wouldn't men lose their jobs instead to decrease the cost of labour?

Women do more of the jobs that an industrial robot could do faster, more efficiently, and (ultimately) cheaper? That doesn’t sound like a very enjoyable work experience for them.😕

There is no distinction in law between robots they are ALL Tax Free, biological or not Are you being taxed for performing a repetitive function - have you lost your job to a no biological robot that more easily identifies as a tax free robot? JolyonMaugham the_tpa

even robots are sexists

Jesus! Now robots are misogynistic.

Except... There is no pay/wage gap. It is illegal to pay people less based on nothing but biological sex or gender. The gap exists because of hours worked, willingness to work weekends and overtime, willingness to travel, occupation, and agreeableness, among other things.

Jhc. Do women have to make everything about them?

Robots don’t complain and take off for cramps and maternity leave.

Possibly the shittest headline this week. Have all journalists simply abandoned research in favour of getting headlines out quicker?

Do you want to swap ‘vulnerable’ for ‘at risk’ of others designing it that way.

Literally zero facts used to make this claim. Journalism?

Women are 100% more likely to go on maternity leave

Bahahah what a load of shit

Oh what a surprise...women being punished again, and again!!!

As long as they take over from most journalists, the robotic revolution will be amazing.

There are always pay variations among men, among women, and among the general population. There is no scientific evidence that shows the variation can not be explained by variables other than gender. The so-called gender pay gap is a shameless lie!

Long live automation and A.I

Women need, as coal miners were told, to learn code.

Another click bait headline. Robots were supposed to take all our jobs 20 years ago. How's that working out? Click bait.

Show me the robots designed to take over for women with degrees in 'intersectional feminist activism'. Please, show me.

Are you implying women can only get jobs that can be easily done by a half-assed AI?

Name one role where men get more than women

Don’t always label women as the weak. Physically maybe,mentally they are far tougher

The rise of the Cybernetic Patriarchy! Judgement Day for the feminists is at hand!

implying there is a wage gap implying this is a bad thing implying women are victims three strikes and you're out.

Female employment at record high

How about stop trying to make humans obsolete at the cost of more profit

And yet and yet you keep pushing women into STEM jobs that help create the robots? I’m confused, who do you blame here?

Aren't you dismissing numerous genders w this speculation that only women are vulnerable to job automation?

world ends! Women suffer the most!!!!!!!!! Does the news listen to itself lately? Who prints this sexist garbage?

Women should stay home.

Twas ever thus. See washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner etc.

Yes, that magic word again - 'could'. A lot of things could happen, Telegraph, but probably won't.

I bet that female robots will be paid only 69 cents on the dollar, too. Very sad.

That’s total BS! GUYS are WAYYYY more likely to have THEIR job taken by automation! Why would any dame want to deal with a dude when she can “replace him with automation” fairly easily MaleRightsAreHumanRights

As there is no gender pay gap, how is this possible?

Comet collides with earth, killing all life on the planet - women hardest hit.

When will you stop participating in this cultural decline?

Can't widen it when it doesn't exist ffs.

Why lie, tomelleryrees? The data proves there’s no gender pay gap. fakenews

ok ladies, now its your turn to make the robots. Get into STEM already, we're tired of mentoring you =P

Except there is no gender pay gap.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Black women are five times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. Why?We’ve had a huge response to today’s Woman’s Hour programme. We focused on how black women in the UK are now five times more likely to die as a result of complications in pregnancy than white women. Listen back to the podcast here: Sitting in the car outside an appointment and I can’t tear myself away - heartbreaking, infuriating stories. We have to be better than this.

This is why James Bond should never be a woman, according to Rachel Weisz“Why not create your own story rather than jumping onto the shoulders, and being compared to, all those other male predecessors?” Well, she's super disappointing Too bloody right. I’m fed up watching female remakes of male movies/characters. Create new ones. Think Killing Eve, Marchella, Big Little Lies, Scandal - strong female roles in excellent dramas. Quite. I feel the same about female psychopaths. Not our story.
