New forms of technology and work and more equality for women in professional life

摘要

Many authors, including Schwab (2017), in his book ‘The fourth industrial revolution', and Rush, Bessant, Hobday et al. (2014), in ‘The evolution and use of a policy and research tool: assessing the technological capabilities of firms', show that we are experiencing the 4th Industrial Revolution, which will change the way we live, work and establish relationships. The confluence of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of things, electric and autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, material science and quantum computing, among others, will bring about changes in society and in the forms of work and research.
