It says 70% of the roles at high risk of automation are currently held by women. Part-timers and the young are the next most at risk.

Unless those who get fired receive a monthly payment, things will get really ugly. Unlike what politicians keep on saying, you simply cannot re-educate everybody to do a new job; and if such a politician still keeps on insisting it is possible, let them have a re-education for a job that is actually useful and watch them fail.
