About

Dr. Julia Philipp is a leading scholar in labor economics, with a focused expertise on the intersection of technological change, gender inequality, and the future of work. Her most influential contribution is her groundbreaking research on the gendered effects of automation. In her highly cited 2020 study, she provided the first large-scale empirical evidence on how industrial robots impact the gender pay gap across 20 European countries. Counterintuitively, her work demonstrated that while robotization raises earnings for both men and women, it simultaneously widens the gender pay gap—a finding that has reshaped policy debates on inclusive automation. With over 20 citations for this single paper, her research is essential reading for economists and policymakers concerned with ensuring that technological progress does not exacerbate existing social inequalities. Dr. Philipp’s work is a vital call to action, urging a careful consideration of gender in the design of labor market policies for the age of robotics.
