University of Galway presents preliminary results of the WIN-BIG Women in Blue Economy Survey

WIN-BIG project member Dr. Hasmik Grigoryan presents results from her work at the Economics discipline seminar (J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics) on 23 Janaury 2025
The research results, carried out in the framework of the EU-funded WIN-BIG project, focused on the findings from a systematic literature review about gender discrimination in the EU blue economy sectors. Various gender inequalities, such as invisible status of females, occupational segregation, lack of capital and training opportunities, lack of efficient policies and safety issues were discussed during the seminar. It was highlighted that women in the blue economy sectors related to marine robotics and research lack training and funding opportunities. While, in the marine based sectors such as maritime transport and offshore occupations females may face safety issues. The research findings emphasized that data collection, policy and institutional changes are required to decrease the existing gender inequalities and improve the attractiveness of the sectors.
