Today is International Women’s Day 2018, celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women worldwide. With a growing focus on gender equality, it’s vital to recognise the importance of influential women in the traditionally male-dominated property industry.
According to Women in Property, only 15% of the property and construction industry workforce is currently represented by women, but many are now driving for change in the sector. The government, alongside higher education centres and industry employers, have been trying to balance the gap, while a recent study by UBS found that investors who backed gender-diverse portfolios stood to make greater returns than those who disregarded gender.
