Women in Trades: The Statistics

There is some disparity in the numbers, but the overall truth remains the same: women are massively underrepresented in the trade industry, and those who succeed in the field deal with near-constant sexism. 

‍

In a 2022 study, Rated People found that nearly 10% of tradeswomen have had a front door shut in their faces more than once. It also found that tradeswomen earn on average just 72% of what their male counterparts earn across all trades. This applies to everyone from electricians to tilers. 

‍

With all the barriers against women in the trade industry, it makes sense to book an “electrician near me” through TaskHer and support a good cause.

Spotlight: Elise, a 25-year-old Electrician

Recently, we interviewed Elise for our Women Behind the Tools series. She is a 25-year-old electrician who, after a difficult start in the trades, has found her footing and now dreams of starting an electrical business with her partner. 

‍

Here’s a snippet of her interview. 
‍

What did the start of your career look like? 

‍

“I almost didn’t get into college. I dropped out of school early and didn’t get any GCSEs, so I had to do a Level 1 Functional Skills qualification in English and Maths before I could get in.” 

‍

Did you experience discrimination while you were studying to be an electrician? 

‍

“I loved the practical side of my course, but a few of the blokes made comments. They said things like, ‘Why aren’t you doing hairdressing?’ Luckily, I never took their comments too personally.” 

‍

Do you enjoy being an electrician? 

‍

“Being an electrician can take you anywhere, which is one of the reasons I love it. Once you qualify, you can branch into testing, maintenance, and big installation projects… the world is your oyster! 

‍

I’ve also found a lot of happiness doing my own electrics at home. I save myself (and my family) a lot of time and money.”
