Aged care worker

One of the fastest-growing occupations in most of the countries in the register, and one of the least exposed. Both facts are usually reported separately.

Resilience Holding

The shape of the work holds. The admin around it thins out considerably.

Scale, labels and thresholds are provisional. This is open question Q-02.

How the score is made

Four declared inputs, never collapsed into one number. Assistance is kept apart from outright automation, because a tool that makes you faster and a tool that replaces you are not the same event. Physical work counts as shelter only to the extent robotics cannot reach it.

The full method is written out, including what it cannot tell you.

Note on this occupation Placeholder values. Worth reading beside the essay's argument: a high resilience score and low pay frequently occur together, and this site scores exposure, not reward.

Assisted
34

Higher is generally good news. It means more of the work gets faster without the work going away.

Done outright
12

This is the number most people mean when they say exposure. It is kept separate from assistance on purpose.

Physical
88

Protective only for as long as robotics cannot reach it. Read this one next to the robotics number, never alone.

Robotics reach
20

Low reach turns physical work into shelter. High reach turns it into the main exposure.
