Almost 1.5million jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots, a new survey by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) has revealed.
Women and young people are at higher risk than other demographics in their jobs.
The ONS analysed the jobs of 20 million people from 2011 and 2017 in England and found that that 7.4 per cents are at high risk of automation.

Almost 1.5million jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots, a new survey by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) has revealed. Women, part time workers and young people are at higher risk than other demographics in their jobs according to the data
Of these, 70 per cent of the jobs were held by women.
It was also found that 16 per cent of employed 20-to-24-year-olds will be affected.
An assessment of 20 million jobs found the risk of job automation falls as workers get older, and is lowest for those aged 35 to 39, said the ONS.
The areas of England with the lowest risk of jobs being automated in 2017 were said to include Camden in London, Three Rivers in Hertfordshire and Oxford.

Areas of highest risk include Tamworth in Staffordshire, Rutland and South Holland in Lincolnshire.
The three occupations with the highest probability of automation are waiters and waitresses, shelf fillers and sales occupations, according to the report.
The three occupations at the lowest risk of automation were said to be medical practitioners, higher education teaching professionals, and senior professionals of educational establishments.
Reasons for the decrease are unclear, but it is possible that automation of some jobs has already happened, such as supermarket self-checkouts, the ONS added.
A recent study from researchers at Cornell University showed that when humans were put in direct competition with robots, it disheartened participants and made them view themselves as less competent.
One participant admitted that they 'felt very stressed competing with the robot.'
'In some rounds, I kept seeing the robot's score increasing out of the corner of my eye, which was extremely nerve-racking,' they added.
In an ever-increasing automated workplace, the researchers said that their findings have serious implications.
Guy Hoffman, assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering said: 'Think about a cashier working side-by-side with an automatic check-out machine, or someone operating a forklift in a warehouse which also employs delivery robots driving right next to them.
'While it may be tempting to design such robots for optimal productivity, engineers and managers need to take into consideration how the robots' performance may affect the human workers' effort and attitudes toward the robot and even toward themselves.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
