SELF TALK Malayalam Podcast By Rajesh Muraleedharan

It’s a basic principle of fairness, men and women should have the same economic opportunities in life. But all around the world, despite progress and protests and legislation, there is a persistent gap between what men and women are paid.

Indians are smart and creative people. They have also proven to be hard working and thrifty. India is a well-endowed land, with a good climate and plenty of natural resources. It has a vibrant, enduring democracy and the rule of law prevails. So why does India continue to be dirt poor after 75 years of independence? Todays podcast discuss, What makes India poor based on the the latest State of Inequality in India Report by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister shows a bleak picture, with gaps that need to be addressed so that the goals of social progress and shared prosperity are realized.

Fully accelerated automation, artificial intelligence-AI, and other technologies will considerably reduce the role of men/women in the job market, replacing millions of current  jobs to new generation jobs in the process. COVID-19 fueled this effect and will likely boost digitization, and perhaps it will stay permanently. Though these technologies will eliminate some jobs, they will create many others. Governments, companies, and individuals all need to understand these shifts when they plan for the future. 

In this May Day podcast episode I will discuss how this transition will happen,  future of Jobs and more importantly how we should adapt
