Deliberate action in pursuit of transformation will continue to play a huge role in attracting more women to the local construction sector, says diversified infrastructure and services construction company Concor Construction business development and stakeholder engagement executive Fezeka Nompumza. This is critical to increase women participation and retention in the sector, considering that, according to Statistics South Africa data from the first quarter of 2020, only 144 000 women are currently employed, formally and informally, compared with about 1.2-million men, in the construction sector.
