Abstract
Low level of women involvement in construction has been of great concern to many researchers and one of the reasons for this could be attributed to the risk and uncertainty attached to the profession in relation to gender issues. As a result, the study appraised risk associated with women involvement in construction projects with a view to enhancing women participation in construction related activities. In all, seventy-four (74) construction professionals were randomly selected consulting, contracting and government organisations in Lagos State, Nigeria. Data related to risk in women involvement were collected through the administration of structured questionnaire on construction professionals that comprised Architects (18), Quantity Surveyors (33), Builders (4) and Engineers (13) and 6 other construction workers that didn?t specify their profession in Lagos State. The collected data were subjected to Risk Factor Index (RFI) analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Findings from the study revealed that factors constituting risk associated with women in construction included selection and promotion procedure (RFI=3.54), family commitment (RFI=3.45) and gender discrimination (RFI=3.40). All the identified factors had high indices (2.81
