DESCRIPTION:In order to mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate chang
 e whilst avoiding widespread political backlash\, governments around the
  world are considering enacting a just energy transition that addresses 
 the concerns of various social groups in the working age population. \n\nF
 ocusing on the gender dimension of the energy transition\, this paper ex
 plores the gender-labour dynamics around support for energy jobs\, and i
 nvestigates under what conditions women and men may be differently incli
 ned to take on green industry work. We argue that men and women may be i
 nterested in energy jobs for different reasons. Building on existing resea
 rch on gender and climate politics\, we argue that women may be more att
 racted to green energy jobs\, even if at the expense of pay\, due to the
 ir intrinsic interest in non-legacy sectors and cleaner activities. Howe
 ver\, consistent with other economic and social research\, we also expect 
 that women give a higher premium to inclusive employment conditions and 
 flexible work ecosystems than men. Consequently\, we also expect that wo
 men may be less inclined to move out of social roles and trade lifestyle
  for green jobs. Experimental data from a novel online survey in the UK la
 rgely confirms that\, while women are more inclined to take on green wor
 k than men\, this preference is conditional on the socialization conditi
 ons of the job. \n\n——————————————————
