In the case of Korea, a better generalised statement would be 'robots are replacing would be immigrants' as they're mostly industrial robots replacing factory workers (largely dominated by a male immigrant workforce). Robot adoption has been accelerated in Korea largely due to low birth rates and a general Korean adversity towards immigration.
you're assuming that the Korean preference for males is entirely irrational. assuming complete equality in job compatibility.
but if there are from having a male dominated work environment in the Korean context, then avoiding more women by using longer hours of men can be rational

Why do you think the pay gap is so high in Israel, given that the LFP gap is low?
For that matter: why is the LFP gap so low? I would have expected it to be higher, since many haredi women don't work outside the home.
Haredi women work 80%+ it's Haredi men who don't work.
since Haredi women are less educated have 7 kids and limited work development, it distorts general statistics even more
Did not know that. I guess that's probably the explanation.
It would be good for the Israeli data to be disaggregated three ways, for sure.
it gets segregated in some publications. but maybe less so in English - international facing
it's Israel's wage gap after controlling for child penalties etc?
because Israelis have more children.
also, is Israel's wage gap in the none ultra orthodox, Jewish communities too?
because ultra orthodox / Arab Israeli communities are different in multiple ways from "regular oecd workforce/culture"
