WOMEN'S FORUM GLOBAL MEETING 19

Nov 20 | 18:05 - 18:55

‘Greedy’ work, work of the future and the fourth industrial revolution: technology and its impacts on women’s labour - #Women4AI

Room: Plenary

Description

Technology was supposed to increase everyone’s leisure time, but instead it���s enabled people to work from wherever they are, or work where employees are scheduled by algorithm. How can technology empower women, both by expanding their opportunities for meaningful work, and also by countering the ‘greedy’ nature of work to expand everyone’s opportunities for leisure? What is the future of work, and how can employers, employees, and citizens harness technology and policy measures to ensure that the work of the future is meaningful?
