The Green Glass Ceiling: Women are Being Left Out of Sustainable Jobs, Says IMF Report

A recent analysis by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlights a significant gender gap in green jobs, with women being underrepresented in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and waste management. Despite the rise in employment opportunities within these industries, men hold two-thirds of green jobs globally, leaving women disproportionately stuck in more polluting sectors. A major factor behind this disparity is the lower number of women graduating in STEM fields, which are crucial for green careers. This underrepresentation not only perpetuates the gender gap but also hampers the effectiveness of climate policies, as economies with inclusive workforces are better equipped for a green transition. While green jobs offer higher wages and narrower gender pay gaps, women continue to miss out on these benefits. To close the gap, the report calls for increased STEM education for women and addressing gender biases in recruitment and management.
