4equality – Implementing innovative tools and methodologies for employability and equal opportunities of young women facing bias in men-dominated future-oriented sectors

Implementation period: 01.01.2024 – 31.12.2025
Project number: 2023-2-PL01-KA220-YOU-000178863

Field: Youth

Project description

Current youth generation is eager to take control of their lives, they are better educated than ever and are more active in political and social arena (53% engagement) (EU Youth Strategy). But, more than ever it faces inclusion challenges within the economic sector, due to uncertainties linked to technological changes, demographic trends, discrimination, social exclusion and populism. The challenge is even more severe for women. Even though more young women than men in EU graduate from universities (Women’s situation in the labour market, EU, 2022), their access to job market is more limited, with 12.6% EU gender employment gap (CEDEFOP 2022). More, the access to job market declined during Covid especially for women and young people (OECD 2022). While women in general face strong barriers in job market access related to gender bias and perceived negative impact of commonly higher engagement into unpaid care responsibilities, it’s young women that are on average 2 to 3 times more likely to be unemployed than older adults (ILO 2021). While such gender inequalities are broadly recognised, and especially present in male-dominated areas, as business and STEM, women studying or training to work in those sectors aren’t being prepared to deal with the job market discriminative behaviours.

4equality offers approach and tools for building competences of young women looking into carriers in male-dominated industries – business and STEM, to proactively cope with challenges of widespread in the professional environment gender bias and mitigate the bias impact on their professional life. Results will target building awareness how gender bias translates to discriminatory behaviours, build understand of its impact and develop competencies to protect oneself from their impact.4equality offers methodology and tools for youth workers and self-development tools for young women to enable them to proactively combat the negative impact of gender bias on their professional life, by helping them to overcome internal barriers and anticipate and minimise impact of discriminative behaviours. It’ll also promote awareness of the bias, and especially of subconscious gender bias on different aspects of professional life and on the lack of equal treatment in business and STEM

4skills project results

  • R1: E-mentor for young women and support tools for youth workers supporting identification of individuals competitive edge with the look beyond the formal qualifications.
  • R2: Tools for youth workers – How to support young women related to business and STEM in building their readiness to cope with bias and pro-actively react to discrimination.
  • R3: E-training for young women for achieving their readiness to deal with gender bias, – tolls for awareness building in the area.
