Sažetak
The construction sector carries a number of distinctive features compared to other economic activities ; from the size of the sector itself, the high initial costs, the nature of demand, to the length of the manufacturing process and the role of the state. In addition, construction is a specific sector dominated mainly by the male population. Nevertheless, more than 10% of the female population in Croatia are employed in construction. Assuming that women in that industry are undervalued, the paper sought to examine the presence of gender discrimination in the procurement and sales segment and to identify the factors that cause unfairness. Given the wide range of literature on this topic, the paper summarizes the most important manifestations of discrimination against women in the labour market. Methods for combating this problem are presented, linking the entire segment with the construction industry, as well as procurement and sales processes in which gender discrimination is supposedly evident. The topic was further explored through in-depth interviews with female construction employees.
