Women’s access, development and leadership in industry; strategic areas for the recovery from the impact of COVID-19

The manufacturing sector and the global economy have been seriously hit by the COVID-19 outbreak. However, a growing number of studies by international institutions, companies, trade union, academics and women's organisations highlight a crucial point: the pandemic's impact has not been gender neutral, as it has had different consequences for men and women in manufacturing worldwide.

Only by including a gender perspective can industry and policy-makers build a comprehensive view of the real challenges and the necessary solutions for the Back To The Future scenario, with which the World Manufacturing Foundation seeks to drive a post-COVID-19 setting.

This document analyses the position of women in industry pre-crisis and assesses the direct impact of the pandemic on an already vulnerable situation. It also draws lessons from the economic disruption, by identifying key opportunities for the sector to attract the necessary talent in its transition towards a more digital, sustainable and inclusive future.

Consequently, the Expert Group makes recommendations for leaders and policy-makers to drive practices that allow a “new normality” that narrows gender gaps in manufacturing.
