Digitization inequality: how robotization shapes gendered perceived pay fairness in China
These results highlight persistent gender disparities in the benefits of robotization, with male workers reporting greater perceived gains in pay fairness. The weaker effect for female workers is mainly due to smaller wage increases and limited impact of skill improvements. The study suggests that policies should address gender wage gaps in robotized workplaces and support women in recognizing and utilizing their skills.
