Effect of Robotics
q AI, robotics and other forms of smart automation have the potential to bring great
economic benefits, contributing up to $15 trillion to global GDP by 2030 according
to PwC analysis. This extra wealth will also generate the demand for many jobs, but
there are also concerns that it could displace many existing jobs.
Robots affecting
Jobs?
 Automation will vary
significantly by Gender

q During the first wave, we expect

relatively low displacement of existing
jobs, perhaps only around 3%
q By the mid-2030s, slightly more men
being affected in the long run as
autonomous vehicles and other
machines replace many manual tasks
where their share of employment is
higher.
q During the first and second waves,
women could be at greater risk of
automation due to their higher
representation in clerical and other
administrative functions.
 Automation will vary
significantly by industry sector
q In the short term, the largest
impacts could be on sectors like
financial services where
algorithms can lead to faster and
more efficient analysis and
assessments.
q In the longer term, however, the
development of autonomous
driverless vehicles could mean
that the largest impacts are seen
in the transport sector.
q Areas like health may be
relatively less affected due to a
greater reliance on social skills
and the human touch
 Education and retraining critical to
adapting to new technologies

q In the short term, the

impact of automation may
be low for workers of all
education levels.
q In the long run estimates
show that those with lower
education levels could be
much more vulnerable to
being displaced by
machines.
Automation will vary along
with workforce skills
