Will Tech Take Your Job? Creating Gender Equity and Inclusion in the Future Workplace

Description

In this session, Dr. Zara Nanu will explore the future of work and how tech must adapt to avoid embedding inequality. Pulling from her roles as both the CEO of pay equity analytics innovator Gapsquare, and a council member for Equity and Social Justice at the World Economic Forum, Dr. Nanu will speak to us about the jobs ‘at risk’ in the new world and the impact this will have on women and diverse groups at work. She will conclude by sharing how we can do better.

This discussion will consider:
– Gender equality at work today and tomorrow: What is the picture for our workforces?
– The impact of tech and disappearing jobs: Are women’s jobs more at risk?
