Exploring the multifaceted relationship between gender and the construction industry, the authors examine the industry's economic, social, and environmental impacts, challenges faced by the workforce and the specific obstacles that contribute to a lesser involvement of women in the field. Outlining strategies to bridge this gap, they further address the empowerment of women within the industry, discussing cultural and environmental factors that shape their professional experiences and the ways in which women's participation and leadership can be increased. Applying these insights on a global scale, the authors conclude by comparing the status of women in the construction industries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, analysing the unique cultural factors affecting their empowerment and mentorship in different regions.
Offering a wealth of insights for academic disciplines ranging from gender and economic studies to sociology and sustainability, this seminal work subverts all expectations to encourage and empower women to break ground both literally and figuratively.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
