Conversations on gender equity has been focused on equalising the male domination of STEM fields, but has that led us to ignore the female domination of many other fields, such as healthcare and education? Brainfooder Laetitia Vitaud (one of the leading feminist future of work thinkers out there btw) certainly thinks so and suggests getting more men into these fields might be solution to persistent candidate shortages there. Incidentally, we should note that many fields of work currently dominated by women are likely to be more resilient than those dominated by men in an AI dis-intermediated future ( ‘future of work is female’ theory) - and this is likely to be a component as to which career paths become the most attractive for any gender to pursue.
