Unfinished Business:
Building Equality for Women in the Construction Trades
30th Women's Research Forum
Why has there been so little progress for women in the construction industry? What keeps women at under 3% of the construction workforce? How can women be assured access to high-paying jobs in the trades? Participate in the public release event for a new report examining what it will take to achieve gender equality in an industry on the rebound.
Join report authors Susan Moir, Director of UMass Boston's Labor Resource Center, and Meryl Thomson, Researcher, Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy, as they consider the barriers and opportunities for women in the construction trades.
