MYTH#7: Women Belong in Admin—Not Technical Roles
It's a weird myth that technical trades require a different kind of mind based on gender. It's society that pegs women as "naturally suited to clerical, administrative, and support work".
It's a history and pipeline problem really, i.e. Data shows that in Australia and the USA, women comprise 80-86% of clerical and administrative roles in construction, but only about 4% of technical and trades positions. This discrepancy is not because women lack technical capability. It’s because of: historic lack of mentorship, limited access to apprenticeships, gender stereotypes, and poor recruitment practices.
