3. Stereotyping
There are fewer women in the
construction industry because
there are fewer human
resources personnel and
recruiters who are open to
welcoming them into the
industry. They had always
perceived this business as
a male-only career and that
women do not necessarily
belong out there in the field.
There have been no active
efforts to educate them of their
possible role in the field, so
unaware female applicants
have never tried getting into
the industry. And although they
may be qualified for certain
positions, there has always
been a recruitment bias,
preferring the men applicants
over the females.
