AI may finally make ‘women’s work’ valuable. But will women benefit?

Economists have long predicted that AI would automate many white-collar jobs, leaving roles like caregiving and teaching, where women are predominantly employed, relatively untouched. This suggests that these "women's work" fields could gain more value as they become less automated. However, the question remains whether women will actually benefit from this shift, considering historical disparities in pay and opportunities. If not addressed, these sectors risk perpetuating existing gender inequalities, despite the potential for newfound recognition.
