Summary
The document provides a comprehensive framework of indicators designed to measure gender equality within the energy sector. It categorizes these indicators into three work streams: general gender equality, social inclusion/equity policies, and energy-specific impacts. The paper maps available data from sources such as the World Bank, ILO, and OECD, while highlighting significant data gaps in gender-disaggregated energy access and the specific time-use burdens of women in fuel collection and cooking.
Key insights
- The document establishes a structured approach to monitoring gender and energy through three distinct work streams: Work Stream 1 (Electrification), Work Stream 2 (Clean Cooking), and Work Stream 3 (Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency).
- There is a significant disparity in data availability based on national wealth, with higher-income countries generally having a greater number of indicators with data compared to lower-income nations.
- The framework identifies critical gender-specific energy indicators, including the gap between male- and female-headed households in electrification rates and access to non-solid cooking fuels.
- The paper emphasizes the need to track 'time poverty' and unpaid labor, specifically measuring the time women spend on fuelwood collection, hand processing grain/tubers, and reproductive work.
- The analysis incorporates health-related gender indicators, focusing on the disproportionate impact of cooking fuels on women and children, such as burns and respiratory issues.
- The document tracks women's empowerment and decision-making power within the energy sector, including their representation on executive boards of power and utility companies and their role in purchasing decisions for solar devices and cookstoves.
