The document discusses gender inequalities faced by women working in the male-dominated construction sector in India. It notes that despite anti-discrimination laws and initiatives, women remain underrepresented in construction professions and occupations. Current literature explains the challenges women face, including structural and cultural barriers such as discrimination, harassment, limited career opportunities, and inconvenient working hours. A survey was conducted of 45 female and male construction professionals in Bangalore and Cochin to investigate how individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors influence women's career advancement in the sector. The results found that individual factors had a greater influence on women's careers than interpersonal or organizational support.
