Description
The study aims to provide a gender analysis of the challenges and opportunities in ensuring relevant skills and working conditions, especially work-life balance supportive workplace opportunities, for a future-ready workforce (competitive, resilient and inclusive) in the EU. The study focuseson the two most gender segregated and resilience-critical areas of the economies - the skills and jobs critical for the technological, digital and green transitions, and the skills and jobs essential for ensuring societal and economic resilience – strong education, health and welfare sectors.
The study analyses projected trends in skills demand and supply across selected sectors and occupations in the EU. Specifically, it examines how the tech, digital and green transitions impact gender balance or disparities within selected sectors/occupations. The study also looks broader at working conditions in selected sectors/occupations that are needed to ensure resilient and gender balanced workplace, with stronger focus on work-life balance supportive workplace.
This study falls under EIGE’s support to the Presidencies of the Council of the EU in monitoring the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action in the EU.
