CIOB Publishes ‘Women in Construction’ Report
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has today
published ‘Inclusivity: The Changing Role of Women in
the Construction Workforce’.
This report, written by Sonia Gurjao from the University
of Reading, aims to raise the debate about the
exclusivity of women in the industry, and assesses the
real barriers faced by women today.
Almost 200,000 women work in construction which makes up
just 10% of those employed within the built environment.
Construction was an industrial sector highlighted by the
Equal Opportunities Commission as a no-go area for
women.
Michael Brown CIOB deputy chief executive, “Attracting
and retaining more women in the construction sector is a
key priority for the UK. In countries such as ours where
skill and labour shortages exist increasing the number
of women in the workforce would go some way to solving
the problem.”
“Many industries, including the construction industry,
harbour discrimination through unequal pay schemes. The
CIOB recognises the positive contribution of women
within the industry and calls for women and men to be
treated as equals.”
