Essay:
Construction industry employs 111 million employeesListed by CICA, 2000, Industry as a partner for sustainable development: construction in quoting "ILO Report 2001 page 5"
- 7% of total employment,
- 28% of industrial employment,
- 75% of construction workers are in developing countries,
- typically over 90% of workers are employed in micro firms with less than ten people.
The construction industry has a significant multiplier effect on the economy as a whole and it is considered that one job in construction gives rise to two further jobs elsewhere in the construction sector and in other parts of the economy. On this basis it can be seen that as much as 20% of all employment may be linked to construction activities in some way.
