Abstract

Due to Gendered Identities and lack of requisite opportunities the level of sustained participation of women as skilled labour in habitat services is limited. With construction being the next biggest employer in the country after Agriculture, and women making up the major chunk of unskilled workers in the sector, steps need to be taken to realise their potential and contribution to habitat services and up-grade their skills to make them competitive in the market thereby increasing their levels of empowerment and participation.
