What is the current state of female participation in skilled trades in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and what are the immediate implications of this imbalance?

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, despite initiatives like the Girls' Days since 2001, women remain underrepresented in skilled trades. Of 5,875 apprentices in 2024, only 935 were female, although this number is slowly increasing. While interest in technical fields is growing, particularly in metal and electrical work, it remains significantly lower than in male-dominated sectors.
