Abstract
Saudi Arabia has made great strides recently in increasing female labor force participation, reaching the Vision 2030 goal of 30% in late 2020, almost a decade early. With labor force participation achieved, the conversation now turns to labor market outcomes, and an increasing gender pay gap in particular. Following a recent discovery that Saudi women are lagging behind men in uptake of green jobs – jobs that are either created, augmented or see increased demand as a result of the energy transition and associated climate commitments -, this group of occupations is used to analyze the source of this widening wage gap.
