Please join us for the 'IPE of Technological Change' session (Fri, 2-3:30). I won't be able to attend APSA this year, but my wonderful co-author (@Soohyun__Cho ) will present our new working paper examining the role of gender on social policy attitudes in response to automation.

@Soohyun__Cho We underscore the role of identity in policy responses to automation. Despite the common challenge, support for social policies is not uniformly extended across affected groups. It calls for a nuanced automation policy framework addressing economic insecurity and gender equity.

@Soohyun__Cho Second, individuals harboring sexist beliefs are significantly less supportive of social policies when job losses predominantly affect women. Third, high automation risk does not mitigate gender-discriminatory attitudes but reinforces them.

@Soohyun__Cho Further, we revealed how people perceive technological job loss differently by victims' gender. Individuals see female laid-offs as less likely to be breadwinners. In contrast, only male-dominated job loss increases the perception that automation is ‘disrespectful’ to workers.

@Soohyun__Cho First, although there was no significant difference in support for unemployment benefits and skill training between male and female-dominated job loss scenarios, we observed increased support for automation-slowing policies *exclusively* in male-dominated layoffs.

@Soohyun__Cho We argue that the widespread devaluation of female labor reduces support for social policies when female workers are displaced by automation. To test this, we conducted a survey experiment (n=2000) in South Korea, manipulating gender proportions in technology-driven job loss.

@Soohyun__Cho Do automation risks (e.g., technological job loss) boost support for social policies? Evidence is mixed. Rather, people may care about what benefits society—a perception defined by existing gender norms. We explore how the gender of automation 'victims' influences policy support.
