The Future of Work Is Care | The Professor Is In

Can men adapt?

It’s time to answer audience questions and respond to subscriber comments from last week’s piece on the jobs-growth gender gap.

Some of the big questions we address in this video include:

  • How does the gender wage gap fit into this story?

  • What’s standing in the way of more men entering care job?

  • Has demand for labor in “masculine” fields (i.e. construction and skilled trades) been overhyped? and

  • How will AI impact the “pink-collar” economy?

It’s a discussion about economics, politics, and culture — and part of a much larger conversation that’s only just beginning.

I hope you’ll join in.
