"I voted in favour of Mr Gustafsson’s report on the role of women in the green economy, as developing the green economy involves creating new jobs, in particular, for prevalently male sectors where the participation of women is still limited.
By analysing data and statistics regarding different employment areas in the European Union, I noted with regret that a high concentration of ‘green’ jobs are normally filled by men. In most cases, women involved in the transition linked to new job opportunities are underpaid compared with men. The disparities in access to different green trades and professions are a threat to the equality of the transition towards a greener labour market.
To facilitate women’s access to new ‘green’ jobs, I would argue it is vital for the Commission and Member States to organise specialist training courses in areas such as renewable energy, thereby giving women real opportunities to join the labour market in remote areas where unemployment affects young people in particular. I am referring, for example, to the potential for women to succeed in the area of solar and wind power in southern Europe."@en1
