Chapter Chapter 2 in Women in Aviation, 2023, pp 13-28 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The aviation industry continues to experience a significant underrepresentation of women, particularly in technical and leadership roles. Researchers have conducted various studies to understand the challenges women face in the aviation industry across different countries and occupations. This chapter aims to conduct a systematic literature review to identify the factors hindering women's involvement and progress in the aviation industry. By analyzing existing research, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the obstacles faced by women in aviation and suggests potential strategies to promote gender diversity and equity in the industry. The study's insights and recommendations can help aviation companies, policymakers, and other stakeholders create inclusive and fairer workplaces. This chapter consolidates the latest research on the subject, making it a useful resource for researchers investigating and addressing the challenges women encounter in aviation.
