The Gender Dimension of the Transport Workforce
Women remain underrepresented in most transport-related industries, with only 17%
female employees on average across a sample of 46 countries. Both attracting and retaining
them remains a challenge for governments and the private sector. This study provides
an in-depth analysis of the correlation between female participation in the transport
workforce and variables such as GDP per capita, education and labour laws. It also
provides recommendations on how to develop policies and measures that will enable
gender equality in the transport workforce.
