Women's Employment in Renewable Energy In The East Asia And Pacific Region

 

This note summarizes the available information on the level of female representation in the RE sector in the EAP region, and highlights entry points through which World Bank energy projects could help increase female representation in the sector, particularly in technical and leadership positions. Alongside greenhouse gas emissions reduction and improved energy security, employment in the RE sector is one of the most important co-benefits of renewable energy adoption, and a key incentive for policymakers to support renewable energy. Applying a gender lens that aims to create equal opportunities for men and women in the job market will support women’s empowerment and access to decent employment.
