Bridging the Gender Gap in Transportation: Challenges and Solutions
Transportation is often seen as a field dominated by men, but the reality is that women face significant barriers at all levels of the industry. A report by Catalyst – a global non-profit organization accelerating progress for women through workplace inclusion - shows that only 25.3% of transportation employees are women. Additionally, Forbes highlights a major inequality problem, with women earning approximately 16% less than men. Globally, just 16.8% of transportation workers are women, and managerial roles remain particularly scarce for them, according to the report titled 'Gender Imbalance in the Transport Sector: A Toolkit for Change.’ by Sustainable Mobility For All.
