About this listen

A report from the City of London Corporation highlights how AI and automation are disproportionately threatening the job security of women in the technology and financial sectors. Beyond the risk of displacement, automated hiring systems often penalize female candidates for career gaps or non-linear paths, creating significant barriers for mid-career professionals. These rigid algorithms frequently overlook transferable skills, leading to a talent paradox where thousands of digital roles remain unfilled while experienced women are sidelined. To combat this, the source advocates for comprehensive reskilling, a redesign of recruitment criteria, and algorithmic transparency to ensure technological progress does not undo gender equality. Ultimately, fostering inclusive workplace cultures and updating policy frameworks are presented as essential steps for maintaining a diverse and competitive future workforce.
