Building Opportunities: Constructing Advancements
Traditionally, the construction industry was a male-dominated world where physical strength was highly valued, and cultural norms discouraged women from entering. However, with the modern workforce evolving and a growing emphasis on diversity, women have begun to break through these concrete barriers.
They participate in construction work and bring new perspectives and innovations, particularly in project management and sustainable building practices. This includes a focus on safety and ergonomics, where they have significantly contributed. Some companies in Japan have started designing construction gear specifically for women, improving comfort and safety on-site and paving the way for a more inclusive workforce.
