Statement of Research Problem
The construction industry comprises of various professions such as civil engineering, building, architecture, quantity surveying, etc. Each of these professions contributes greatly to the success of construction projects and quantity surveying is one of the 4 professions having great impact on the success of construction project (Hussin and Omran, 2009). The challenges being faced by women at work varies and most at- times is far rooted in the process of socialisation that such women have been exposed to from childhood. With such socialisation, women may incline or decline towards a career. Gender stereotyping may directly or indirectly make girls to steer clear of studies and jobs considered to be for males, such stereotyping is strengthened by comments received from childhood which eventually and unconsciously results into barriers, and such barriers have been classified as either ‘external’ or ‘internal’ to the person concerned (Adogbo et al., 2015). Preliminary survey conducted in the study area by the researcher revealed that the Quantity Surveyors (women) who are members of NIQS practicing within Abuja is 110, whose population is far too small compared to that of males (1002). With this figure, it is glaring that the number of women quantity surveyors participating in the construction industry is low. This implies that there are certain factors or barriers responsible for this low involvement and that is yet to be ascertained (Adogbo et al., 2015). Therefore, it is impossible to address or tackle the issue of gender stereotyping without an in-depth study of current participation level of female professionals specifically quantity surveyors. This is the gap in knowledge that this study contributed to filling
