Gendered Pathways to Just Transition for MSMEs in India

This webinar explores the gendered pathways to just transition for MSMEs in India. It will examine the current gaps and the need for addressing women’s issues in the MSME sector, including:
• Gendered workspaces and labor market segmentation of women’s representation in sectors such as textiles, readymade garments, and food processing, while sectors such as automobiles are electronics are dominated by male entrepreneurs and workers. Additionally, also discuss barriers and opportunities for women entrepreneurs and workers across different MSME sectors
• Social norms and gendered barriers to women’s inclusion and entrepreneurship in the MSME sector, including barriers to women’s mobility, workplace safety and discrimination, gender wage gap, paid paid and unpaid work of women, and social roles for women;
• Access to productive resources such as institutional credit and seed capital, ownership of assets, transfer of technical knowledge, information, and skills required for the flourishing of women entrepreneurs and workers during a just transition;
• Policy landscape such as legal and policy level differences and protection for men and women entrepreneurs and workers and gender-responsive policies such as provisioning of maternity leaves, accommodation for women workers, and childcare support.
