Resumen
Descripción
Since the 1990s, most states in Europe
and Central Asia (ECA) have embarked on energy sector
reforms. These have included removing subsidies, which has
resulted in increased end-user costs for energy. The
research presented here comprises an integral part of a set
of qualitative studies on poverty and social impacts of
energy subsidy reforms. In particular, it examines what it
means for energy subsidy reforms to be more gender
sensitive. The purpose of this research is to illustrate the
extent to which energy subsidy reforms in the ECA region
differently impact men and women. Prior global studies on
gender and energy suggest that men and women have different
priorities when it comes to energy use; that the reforms may
have unequal effects on their well-being; that they face
different challenges in interacting with energy providers or
social assistance institutions; and may have different views
on and knowledge of policy reforms. The target audience for
this study is development practitioners, public officials,
and civil society actors involved in social sustainability
and the communications aspects of energy reform policies.
