Do you know what the percentage is of men working as plumbers, welders, concreters, roof tilers, bricklayers and carpenters within Australia?
It’s at 99%, which means women represent only 1% of these trades.
So, what can we do to change this?
One of the most significant challenges is overcoming the deeply ingrained societal biases and preconceived notions that associate certain occupations with specific genders.
However, that isn’t the only barrier. Women face other obstacles in this industry, but as a society, we can work together to break them down.
