Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The construction sector is
dominated by men, not only in Mongolia but also in countries throughout the
world. Even in an advanced economy like the US, women consist of less than 1% of construction
workers on the jobsite.
Here at the EU Funded Switch Off Air Pollution Project (SOAP), we’re
working to redefine the role of women in the construction sector by working
with jobsite team leaders, locally known as brigade leaders, to break outdated
gender norms and help them find the best construction workers, regardless of
sex. But we’re also training women to join the booming construction sector.
