Harnessing the green and digital transitions for gender equality
OECD
2024.10.29
- Policy insights from the 2024 OECD Forum on Gender Equality -

Gender inequalities persist as a global challenge amidst the transition towards a green and digital future. These shifts towards environmental sustainability and digital societies mark a pivotal moment, offering significant opportunities to advance gender equality through new economic prospects and more diverse participation in decision-making processes. However, these transitions also highlight existing gender disparities, such as wage gaps and limited participation in leadership roles in both private and public spheres. In addition, the digital transformation exposes women to technology-facilitated gender-based violence and can increase young individuals‘ exposure to harmful content, reinforcing negative gender norms and stereotypes. To fully harness the opportunities presented by these global transitions, it is crucial to address labour market inequalities and ensure access to emerging job opportunities. Promoting the skills needed for success in the green, energy, and digital sectors, and integrating gender equality into policies and strategies, are essential steps. This paper, supporting the inaugural OECD Forum on Gender Equality, provides valuable insights into these transitions, highlighting both challenges and opportunities.
