WeiterlesenWomen and Green Skills in the Renewable Energy Sector
In the renewable energy sector still remains a significant gender gap in access and consumption, as well as in the workforce. Women are underrepresented in the energy sector compared to the global labour force (48%). The numbers are slightly higher in the renewable industry (32%) compared to the conventional energy sector (28%). Most women work in office-related corporate functions such as human resources, finance, and customer service. The numbers in higher positions that could influence decision-making remain especially low. Also, the number of women in technical careers is still very low.
