Although there has been a massive push to bring more women into the construction industry, women in construction currently only make up roughly 10% of the workforce. Many of these roles are managerial, with very few women working onsite or in the trades. In fact, only half of the 40 trades listed under construction categories currently have enough women employed to even register a meaningful percentage within official records.

Several factors have influenced these statistics over the years, but one way to grow these numbers is to provide more educational resources for the current and future generations of women in construction. From universities with construction and engineering focuses, to initiatives that push for providing women and young girls with opportunities to succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields, there has never been a better time for women to join the construction industry.
