Resistance to gender equality in the Australian construction sector

该项目旨在调查性别平等举措的政策失败，特别是，如何随着时间的推移和在澳大利亚男性占主导地位的建筑行业的不同背景下，对性别平等的机构和个人抵制进行应用和调整。该项目预计将为政府和企业的政策制定者提供新的知识，帮助他们提供强有力的政策成果，以改变男性主导部门的性别平等。该项目将为澳大利亚带来重大的社会和经济效益，使建筑业能够更好地吸引和留住妇女，减少该部门关键技能的短缺。

This project aims to investigate policy failure of gender equality initiatives and specifically, how institutional and individual resistance to gender equality is applied and adapted over time and across different contexts in construction, Australia’s most male dominated sector. This project expects to generate new knowledge for policy authors in government and business, helping them deliver robust policy outcomes to shift gender equality in male dominated sectors. This project should provide significant social and economic benefits to Australia, enabling greater attraction and retention of women to construction jobs, reducing the sectors critical skills shortage.
