GenderInEnergy Company Survey 2023

The survey was conducted in early summer 2023 using computer-aided telephone interviews (CATI) by a specialised survey research company (GDCC). The sampling frame consisted of companies with >10 employees in the energy sector in the 35 countries covered by our study (In some smaller countries, companies with 5-9 employees were included as well because of exhaustion of the sampling frame for larger companies. The data on companies with less than 10 employees were included exclusively in the multivariate analysis).

The target interviewee was the HR manager or a member of management with responsibility for HR matters. The questionnaire covered the following topics: Current gender ratios by key occupational groups; Implementation of measures to boost gender balance; Perceived effectiveness of such measures; Perceptions about barriers to achieve gender balance; and difficulty in filling open positions.

The target number of complete responses to be collected was n=2,000 across the EU27, n=400 across the remaining SET Plan countries and n=400 across the four Mission Innovation countries Australia, Canada, the UK and the US.
