MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The current strategic goals and proposed initiatives regarding the labor force challenges in the forestry sector in Bulgaria are covering the overall development of human capacity without separately focusing on female managerial opportunities and participation in the sector. Researches in the field are indicative of the low level of employment of women with a tendency for becoming even lower during the upcoming years. However, women are an important factor in the labor market of the current modern society. The main goal of the paper is to study the attractiveness of forestry in Bulgaria by outlining the attitudes, priorities, and opportunities of women (1) to develop in their careers at the public and private forestry sectors and (2) to manage their forests as an alternative form for entrepreneurial development and increasing the competitiveness of the sector. Primary data is presented from the Fem4Forest project with information from in-depth interviews among the target groups, a round table with stakeholders and decision-makers, and results from online questionnaires.
