Abstract

Chapter one of this valuable book focuses primarily on the construction industry and emphasises on thematic areas such as industry entities, including its social and economic impact supported by the workforce within the industry. The workforce, which consists of a wide variety of training, semi-skilled and unskilled labourers, is crucial to the building sector. These people are vital to the conception, management and accomplishment of construction projects in various industries. The chapter also highlights the lack of female gender involvement and how the gender gap would be filled.
