A cross-sectoral and intergenerational proposal: waste management transformation as job creation and platform of encounter between unemployed Romani girls and women, state actors and recycling companies in Albania

Abstract

This thesis has at its core a project proposal that results as logical conclusion based on the justifications gradually building up with the following chapters. A global as well as national and local perspective coupled with Systems Theory, Ecological Economics and Hans Thiersch´ theory of life-world-orientation highlight the cross-sectoral character of the project and, together with an adequate methodology, design a proposal that not only promotes a labor market inclusion of Romani girls and women and a platform of encounter between multisectoral actors especially at the political and economic level, but also aim at the Key Challenges of Gender Equality and Green Transition in the long term.
