About

Dr. Nicolas Soler is a leading scholar in labor economics and the future of work, with a particular focus on technological disruption and gender inequality in emerging economies. His most cited work, "Automation in Latin America: Are Women at Higher Risk of Losing Their Jobs?" (2020, 10 citations), provides a groundbreaking empirical analysis of how digitization, artificial intelligence, and robotics differentially impact male and female workers across Bolivia, Chile, and Colombia. Soler’s research reveals that women in these regions face disproportionately higher automation risks due to occupational segregation and limited access to retraining opportunities. This study has become a cornerstone for policymakers and international organizations seeking to design inclusive labor market transitions. Beyond this paper, Soler has contributed to debates on skill-biased technological change and the gig economy in the Global South. His work is notable for combining rigorous quantitative methods with a sharp focus on social equity, earning him recognition as a key voice in development economics. With a growing citation impact, Soler continues to shape how we understand the intersection of technology, gender, and economic resilience in Latin America.
