Green Jobs and the Future of Work for Women and Men

The transition to a sustainable green economy presents both challenges and opportunities for workers, necessitating a shift from carbon-intensive jobs to green employment.

This report explores how this transition can be optimized to benefit all workers, regardless of gender. The effectiveness of this transition is not only determined by climate policies but also by the skills and adaptability of the workforce.

Despite this disparity, green jobs offer significant wage premiums, particularly for women, underscoring the need for inclusive educational and labor policies. These policies should focus on skill enhancement and promote gender inclusivity to ensure that both men and women can access and thrive in the growing green job market.
