In this study, the effects of automation trends on the occupation groups are
studied. Routine task index of occupations in Turkey are calculated and female
labor force participation as well as female to male ratios in these occupations
are analyzed. Further, the ability of Turkish female workers in adapting
themselves to changing nature of occupations is explored by summary statistics
from PIAAC survey results. We find that the occupation groups that are
susceptible to automation are occupied by female workers.
