| Summary: | Society and economies face the necessity of social, political and,
consequently, legal addressing of discrimination based on different personal
characteristics, such as gender, race, language, political opinion, national
origin, and ethnic and social status. In this regard, it is possible to look
at, especially from the conceptual-theoretical, as well as the accompanying
applicative aspect, and give a conceptual demarcation of (gender) equality
in relation to the institute of women‘s inequality as an established
vulnerable category in workplaces. For many years throughout history in
traditional and patriarchal societies, women had a subordinate position with
an emphasis on the dominance of the paternalistic concept of man‘s position
in the world of work. However, in the last decade, as more is being written,
spoken, and more research is being conducted on the subject of
discrimination at work, efforts have been made to solve this problem. The
latest trends related to the transition to a green economy also aim to
promote the importance and necessity of mitigating factual inequality
between the sexes with legal measures deriving from the principle of equal
opportunities and procedures in employment and work. The subject of this
analysis is an overview of gender inequalities in the labour market, Norway,
Slovenia and Serbia, which were taken as examples of good practices in the
period from 2015 to 2021. The comparison is made with a focus on the current
concept of promoting a green economy and sustainable development. The goal
of the paper is to determine whether the green economy is a chance to
alleviate inequality and increase equality in the labour market, or whether
it carries limitations that can hardly be overcome when it comes to the
world of work. |
