Women and the Trust Penalty聽

This session will discuss why gender inequalities in the workplace are so hard to eradicate, despite targeted efforts to reduce them. We will explore some of the reasons why gender inequalities have proven so difficult to resolve, focusing on ongoing research showing evidence of a trust penalty arising from gender-status mismatch in the construction industry.聽
