The gender imbalances in the construction industry is not just peculiar to Nigeria. It is the same thing for the rest of the world. It is not totally correct to attribute these inadequate representation to discrimination because certain industries attract certain groups of people, possibly due to the nature, demands and sensitivity of the sector.

Coal mining sector for instance is mostly male dominated while health care sector can attractive to more females.

My opinion.

Alright

I've seen women that thrive in the construction industry. It's a matter of choice. You can start a career in the construction industry if you are tough and you see yourself as a 'human machine',not a man or woman. This means that you have to utilize every part of your body from your brains to your hands to make ideas and blueprints come to life.

The construction industry is widely considered to be one of the world’s largest industrial employers of labour, and is linked to all other sectors of countries’ economies. It presents a path to empower women economically but it tends to be dominated by men.

In spite of past initiatives in many parts of the world to increase their participation in the construction industry at all levels, women remain a minority.

This is not only an issue of equitable gender representation but one of meeting the industry’s needs.

Researchers have identified skills shortages as a problem in construction. Attracting more women to careers in the industry could help bridge these gaps.

In Nigeria, women make up only 16.3% of the construction profession. Research on this is scarce but one 2006 study of the informal housing delivery sector found that women’s participation was extremely low.

This was presumed to be due to certain cultural ethics and values in Nigeria.
In our study, we investigated the current level of women’s participation, challenges faced by professional women and the factors that influence them in the course of developing careers in construction.

We found that gender discrimination and dominance of male culture were among the top constraints. The top strategy suggested for changing this was to make young women aware of opportunities that exist for them in the industry.

Wo the job requires strength so its good for men abeg. Women dont need stress

Reason why Nigeria will not go far.

With due respect,u should have just enrol ursef into the construction industry today and subsequently get more female to join

Naturally, men usually and unconsciously shield women from jobs that are very risk hazards like construction, military etc all over the world. The women that go into military end up behind the desk as their career progresses. Nature has also made women vulnerable.
Yeah, a man can travel round the world cos of work but a nursing mother or a pregnant lady can't be able to do so.

It means that there's no discrimination in d construction. It just means that women aren't interested in d rigours of d industry

I don't think you understand what discrimination means...No data, no source, no study...just open mouth waaa, and someone moved this clickbait to the front page. Who exactly is "We"?

D report is bias and contradictory. It made very vague claims without any facts. In d end, it said this:

"The top strategy suggested for changing this was to make young women aware of opportunities that exist for them in the industry."

This isnt d result of discrimination but ignorance on d part of ladies. Many ladies would rather not study engineering no matter d incentive

So how is men the problem.

Everything must be blamed on men.

At no time will the society ever be gender neutral. Whether you agree or not, there roles specifically meant for men and there roles meant for women. Nature has made it that way, stop blaming men.

Same science that says a woman cannot give birthday after 50yrs?

Men are simply way more physically capable at handling physically demanding tasks such as construction works than women - bigger , stronger muscles and bones than women

Men are better suited for such jobs mentally, too - way higher tolerance for stress and greater adaptability to increase in levels of stress than women. In short: women are way more likely than men to break down physically & emotionally if they are to handle such jobs .

Men, because of higher testosterone levels --15 times women's levels - would have greater affinity to such jobs than women ; risky, provides adventure, requires great physical strength. Women would tend to find such jobs unattractive because they intuitively know that the demands of the job can not be met because of their biological makeup

Again : science

They shall floored the interior aspect with their big yangs and cash out big time. They mostly provide the furnitures, cottons, kitchen wares, rugs etc name it. And they make more money. If una still wan dey carry blocks, iron, pop paint, and woods all around no lele. And hope ladies are prepared to sleep site too.

Lmfao

Another crap feminist inclined nonesense.

When I was looking for a property, women dominated the sales part and they're literally killing it.

As for construction, just say they don't like carrying pon pon( wheel barrow).

Like who's preventing them ? capital requirements perhaps which is a problem for both genders.

Your gender shouldn't be an issue but your capability. I am in a male dorminated industry but often times I am presumed to be weak because of my gender but strength is not all about the physical, my strength is my ability to think critically and solve problems.

You see this Feminist war ba?

Women will win it.

Nothing can stop it..

It is an agenda that has been brewing right from time.

Even the Bible made mention of it.

The world will produce strong women and weak men.

Women will become providers and a lot of men will become the receivers.

Homosexuality will thrive.

Cuckold, female-led, and femdom relationships will become normal.

When the Bible said that five women will cling to one man and ask him for marriage, the Bible did not say males will be scarce...

There would be males but not fit to be called men.

Who is stopping them from going into construction or studying relates courses? In my engineering class we had only 3 girls in a department of over 100. Did any one stop then?

happy to give 100 percent of the labourer and masonry quota to women!
I hope we all know over 99.9 percent.of laborers, night soil men are men... women should demand thier quota in such professions too.
very nonsense and illogically selfish claims as always.
how many women go to the university to study engineering courses by percentage? then how many of them willingly apply to study civil engineering?
how do you get into the civil engineering practice without studying engineering?
should men be asking for government quota in microbiology, pharmacy, nursing and education too.
nobody is stopping anybody to do the work they desire as can be proved that women who study medical and biological sciences are at will to choose what they want.
did government give any quotas to men in the construction industry? why do women want to skip the part where they should be qualified for it only to request government to forcefully give them quotas?
its a free world and men have accepted that life is not fair and instead of complaining they just go ahead and try to find solutions. vigina people will always ask that somebody gives them something including quotas.
is there.a different entry requirement to any discipline for.men and.women?
you can cherry pick the benefits of hard professions but you should also not avaoid the difficult part.
all dangerous and life risking jobs are dominated by men simply because men have accepted that suffering, stress and even death are acceptable prives to pay for comfort and wealth.
while.women depend on their only natural resource - the almighty pussy- to get them all they need to be comfortable in life.
men have been quite and not calling out the feminists bull shit because we want to fvck you not because we dont see the dumb games you are trying to play.
every single woman has equal.rights with any man to pursue any profession of their choice.provided they are willing to put in the works.
so nobody is shutting any woman out of the constriction industry in Nigeria or anywhere on earth, women just dont mind getting things they dont work for, of course, they have a pussy that trumps any competence and qualification.
men are dominant in most high-paying, high-risk disciplines because men innately know and are trained to see competence and hard work as the means for survival, comfort and upward mobility.
but women know that someone out there is going to give them something including governement quotas especiallyin a woke world just because they are women
Men built all of the civilization we are all enjoying without complaints and without needing the help of women except to drain our balls. Women have no history of building anything from pre-historic times so what makes them qualified to build anything now?
Women should also ask for male quotas for the professions they dominate in.
Women do not even like working with their fellow women because they spend most of their lives bickering and thinking of clothes, make up and shiny things.

I have an acquaintance who is a civil engineer. The babe is brain and beauty. Works with LNG.

This is bullshît.

Is interior design / interior decoration not part of the construction industry? Who dominate that profession around the world? Women for fvck sake! They also represent in architecture and furniture design!

In the UK the ratio of female interior designers to male is like 20:1. Even in Canada. In Nigeria, how many male interior designers do you know? Na so so woman!

Women have selected a subset of the built environment to dominate and they are doing very well. Almost ALL the top interior design firms around the world are owned by women.

Quit capping this dishonest nonsense.

[quote author=saphiere post=101151464][/quote]

What is the percentage of women in the professions you so gladly posted? Did anybody stop them from doing these jobs?
Why don't you demand equal quota for women in these professions as well?
What is the percentage of women willing to do hard and humble work to the ones doing the "hookup" professions.
Women wanna cherry pick the benefits and the nice things but avoid the risky and painful parts.

Such useful women will not be found complaining and asking for quotas because they worked for their accomplishments but awon "actresses, beauty queens " and hookup professionals will not allow people rest with nonsense wokeness.
Work hard for your achievements dem no go gree because them get camel toe and big bum bum... That is enough to get a man to give them anything they need in life.
