IS THERE ANY ROOM FOR WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT?
The conversation about challenging gender inequality in construction has been getting busier and more vocal for several years. While there has been some research into the representation of women in the construction industry, the figures haven’t shown any major signs of improvement. Construction is still one of several sectors, where only a small proportion of jobs are held by women — in fact, just 15% of the UK construction workforce, is made up of women.
However, women working in construction are beginning to hold all kinds of roles, including at FTSE Board level. A 2021 government survey found the number of women on FTSE boards is up by 50% in just five years meaning more than a third (34.3%) of FTSE 350 board positions are now held by women. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
