| Summary: | Stepping Up Women's STEM Careers in
Infrastructure: An Overview of Promising Approaches
describes a variety of ways to level the pathway for women
entering into and progressing in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) employment within the
infrastructure sectors—energy and extractives; water;
transport; and digital development. It is composed of three
volumes : Volume 1 distills the findings from an extensive
literature review, a global stocktaking exercise, key
informant interviews, and five case studies in order to
provide World Bank Group project teams with insights that
they can use to support women’s STEM careers in
infrastructure at each stage of their careers—from initial
attraction to the sectors and job recruitment, to retention
within organizations, and advancement to managerial and
leadership roles. The report is intended to underpin and
expand the existing knowledge on gender equality issues,
under the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance
Program (ESMAP).The case studies featured form part of the
insight captured in the associated report Stepping Up
Women’s STEM Careers in Infrastructure: Case Studies (Volume
1). Volume 2 is composed of five case studies that describe
a variety of contexts in which measures are being
implemented to attract, recruit, retain, and advance women
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
roles in the infrastructure sectors across Ethiopia, the Lao
People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), North Macedonia,
Panama, and Solomon Islands. The first three case studies
profiled in this document focus specifically on recruitment,
retention, or advancement. The remaining two case studies
focus on organizations that are tackling the issue of
women’s underrepresentation holistically, in each of the
crucial stages of a woman’s career. The case studies
featured form part of the insight captured in the main
report Stepping Up Women’s STEM Careers in Infrastructure:
An Overview of Promising Approaches (Volume 1). Volume 3
summary note provides a brief overview of some of the
findings from an extensive literature review, a global
stocktaking exercise, key informant interviews, and five
case studies (featured in Volume 1 and 2) in order to
provide World Bank Group project teams with insights that
they can use to support women’s STEM careers in
infrastructure at each stage of their careers. |
