abstract: 'The construction industry has insufficient interest and participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from women, as well as an existing gender wage gap. To address these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issues, a better understanding of the recent situation regarding gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workforce biases and income differences is required. Therefore, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study analyzes employment levels and wage distributions in 2015 by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender through data collected from reputable sources, such as the Bureau
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Labor Statistics (BLS), Data USA, and the US Census Bureau, on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and wage gaps related to gender in the construction industry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This data was normalized, and an analysis was conducted to compare males
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and females versus the total population and median wages. The analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirms the existence of gaps in both of these areas, reports that this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trend has remained steady over the years, and identifies the top ten
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
construction occupations in which discernable gaps from Data USA can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
observed. The purpose is to emphasize the latest status of construction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industry employment and wage discrepancy related to gender. This study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will contribute to the area of workplace diversity and discrimination by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drawing the attention of decision-makers to the problem and encouraging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
them to develop approaches to reduce disparities. Subsequently, with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attainment of the preceding objectives, the researchers hope this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technical note can help increase the interest and sustain participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of women across the construction industry.'
