Women play an essential role in the transport workforce worldwide,
working in formal and informal jobs in public transport, road
freight and logistics, rail, maritime and aviation sectors, in
ports and in active travel. Women, Work and Transport is an
international collection that brings together researchers with
global expertise in gender and transport work to provide original
evidence of the experiences of women working in all transport modes
across countries in the Global North and the Global South. The 21
chapters reveal the everyday challenges faced by women working in
highly masculinised environments, including gender stereotypes
about women's lack of suitability for transport work, gender-based
violence and harassment, limited opportunities for promotion and
progression, inflexible work patterns, poor working conditions, and
lack of gender-specific facilities. The transport sector has also
been severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in
widespread furlough and redundancies. The effect of the pandemic on
women's work in transport is addressed, while other chapters also
reveal how women have succeeded in transport occupations, with the
support of mentoring schemes, leadership programmes and trade
unions, highlighting new emerging opportunities to challenge
occupational gender segregation as the transport sector transforms
through automation, digitisation, and the transition to low-carbon
technologies. The Transport and Sustainability series addresses the
important nexus between transport and sustainability containing
volumes dealing with a wide range of issues relating to transport,
its impact in economic, social and environmental spheres, and its
interaction with other policy sectors.
