The Current Status Of Women

Pursuing this further, as men started to lose their jobs, women were the ones who took them in stride. Millions of jobs were lost by men due to the “wreckage of the Great Recession” and it overwhelmed many in construction and financing occupations as their pattern never regressed to what it was (Rosin 306). Various people started to take note that women are actually “[C]onscientious… stable workers” and they gradually climbed up the social ladder to a point where they are finally placed with men (306). Women’s prescence in the labor force increased exponentially from “30.3 million in 1970 to 72.7 million during 2006-2010,” and they

This is to ensure that the necessary raw materials and physical resources are available at each stage, and that the workforce on site has the right skills for the scheduled work. The project management team will need to produce a series of planning documents that can be accessed throughout the project. Each member of the project management team must know their role and responsibilities, including which sections of the workforce they will be directly managing.

Previous reports on the construction industry have either been implemented incompletely, or the problems have persisted. The opportunity which exists now must not be missed (Chapter 1, paragraph 1.10). Implementation begins with clients. The Department of the Environment should be designated by Ministers as lead Department for implementing any recommendations of the Report which Ministers accept. Government should commit itself to being

Women are burdened with many obstacles to achieve equality in the work place. In the corporate and

Structure reformations of institutions that allow more female to enter the workforce and leading positions are more fundamental and influential to female’s role in the society. Since it celebrates a shared agreement of both male and female fighting against gender inequality, which make gender inequality not just a issue for women, but to a broader public. Lea Verou, on the contrary, emphasizes that women need be educated in the same way as male when they are still children, be creative and learn technical skills. She claims the reason that engineers are full of male is women are not be raise to fit that position, rather they are trained to be domestic housewives and pretty dolls (7). Though Verou has great confidence that parents will solve the problem of gender inequality, only emphasizing on family impact on women at young age cannot fully solve the problem of discriminated view from men. First, parents do not have sufficient time to look out for their children and keep them from any traditional view. Second, if the scientific institutes are gender bias to only

In the article “What’s Holding Women Back” by E.W it talks about how even though the public can see that women are just as good as men and in some cases better for certain positions, they still don’t get those jobs. In this paper I’m going to tell show you how even though women are just as capable as men to do certain jobs they are still discriminated against in the workplace. How women are affect by the glass ceiling effect and how it prevents them from getting the jobs that they deserve to have.

Gender plays a huge role in workplace 'success' and can be a big challenge especially if the employee is a woman in a male dominated workplace or career. No matter how 'hard-nosed,' 'ruthless,' 'workaholic' a woman may be, or how much personal success she achieves, there will always tend to be some type of obstacle to keep her from getting completely to the top of the corporate ladder. She must also still fight stereotypes that undermines her confidence or limits her potential. Since the early 20th century, women and minorities have sought equal opportunities in education and in the labor force with little success. These obstacles or barriers are all known as the glass ceiling.

The amount of women working in skilled trades today, alarmingly is the same as when women first entered back in 1978. Despite the advances women have made in the workforce, construction jobs still employ the fewest amount of women. There are women who have broken through the barriers and pushed past the discrimination who are successful. Women like Brenda Berkman, a firefighter, and Lois Ross, a biomedical engineer, prove that there is a way for women to be successful in the field. The key components that contribute to the success these women achieve is the installation of the Affirmative Action Plan, the installation of unions, and support from other women as well as men in the field.

Construction, known almost exclusively as “boys club” industry has little charm for young female professionals. Right?

Women have experienced a historic situation of inequality in the social as well as professional aspects. Women were normally the ones that would take care of children, do the chores in the house, and in rural areas; they would work in the field with the rest of the family. However, today’s women have become more self-sufficient and independent from the predominant male figure within every historical family. Gender inequality in the workplace is becoming less common; yet, gender is a factor that affects men and women. Especially women have been subjected to a historical discrimination that has influenced society to decide which job is more suitable for women than men. However women have confronted and tried to break down the barriers that

In striking resemblance to the aforementioned issues, women experience ridicule and other problems in the work place. As lending evidence, “According to the National Association of Women in Construction, less than 10 percent of women are in [the] industry” (Godwin, 2010, ¶ 9). Since I have worked in a few construction fields over my lifetime, I can personally attest to the mentality of numerous male workers in the business, regarding women infiltrating the ranks. Most often, men believe that women are inferior in the strength, endurance and mental abilities, which all are presumably necessary to be even moderately effective in the trade. Comparatively speaking, as much as nursing is customarily seen as a female position, due to its caring nature, construction is expected to be a man’s job, because of the assumed prerequisite of toughness.

The relevant policies and best practice guideline promoting gender equality and offering better opportunities for women in construction and the extent to which the policies meet the government and the industry expectations will be reviewed and analysed.

All over the world, women have played significant roles in their countries' development. They have contributed to the economic growth of
