Construction industry 200 years away from achieving gender equality
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
GENDER equality in the construction industry will take nearly 200 years to achieve at the current rate of progress, the GMB revealed today.
According to statistics presented to the union’s annual conference in Brighton, it could be the year 2194 before the number of women in construction will equal men.
There are an estimated 60,972 more women working in construction than in 2009.
