Gender in Nordic Blue Economies. Initial networking results and future academic research
The SAB network recognised two domains particularly relevant to countries in theArctic and High North region: (1) coastal, maritime, and marine-based activities,livelihoods, and industries; and (2) gender equality and women’s participation in thelabour market, governance and decision making.
