| description | The just transition targets aspects with a strong social impact that influence the quality of life of
communities on the front line of the energy transition. These communities are found in coal-bearing
and heavily industrialized areas. Just transition involves creating new reskilling opportunities as well
as decent and inclusive jobs. A special attention is directed to women, who are particularly
vulnerable to these changes, due to increased family responsibilities. Our work aims to contribute to
the analysis on gender equity prior to the financing mechanism for just transition in Romania from
the perspective of the infrastructure development and services relevant for just transition (e.g.
nurseries) that create a direct impact on the professional retraining and employability of women in
the affected areas. We concluded that, for some of the six Romanian counties that are object to just
transition, the European funding was the necessary impetus for the development or even the
emergence of the nursery infrastructure. |
