Gender Equality in Construction; Where Do We Stand?

摘要

The federal government has planned for over $180 billion in infrastructure spending over the next decade (Infrastructure Canada 2016). This is specifically important to our industry, since a major part of infrastructure investments relates to engineering and construction. What is interesting about this budget allocation is that the federal government has also committed to a gender-based analysis on how the budget allocation within this program can affect gender equality in different ways, including employment opportunities.
