16 crore women can lose their jobs

At least 160 million women could lose their jobs as the use of automated technology continues to grow. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has conducted a survey in 26 countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Cyprus, and Singapore, and found that millions of people, both men, and women, will lose their jobs in the next two decades due to automated technology. The number of girls is more among them. Less educated, clerks, salesmen, and women over 40 are more at risk. Their advice to handle the situation is to focus on enhancing the skills of women workers in the digital age. Emphasis should be placed on increasing the number of women in high positions, educating them in new technologies, making them suitable for new jobs.
