Summary/Abstract: The publication focuses on the situation of women on the labour market in Bełchatów in the face of the energy transition. Women are a less exposed group in relation to the green transition, and the risks and opportunities arising from it will affect all residents of Bełchatów, the district and neighbouring areas. Focusing on the consequences of these changes only for those employed in the mine and power plant overlooks, or at best marginalises, other participants in the labour market, for whom the lower income of potential customers, and even more so the mass departure of existing residents with professional ties to the mine and power plant, may itself mean the need to change career and often life plans.In fact, this study is the first major publication devoted to the current and expected situation of women on the labour market in Bełchatów, and its aim was to find out what stakeholders, including employers, consider to be the importance of women for the district's economy and their businesses, and what consequences they expect for working women as a result of the green transition.
