Gender × zone cross-section

161.8K women in Scotland work in AI-exposed, demand-capped roles.

That is 15.3% of the region's female workforce in roles where exposure ≥ 7 and elasticity ≤ 4, the Anti-Jevons threshold. The region is 48.5% female overall, but the admin / clerical / customer-service pipelines that dominate this zone are historically female-led, so the zone itself skews that way.
