The manual labour sector is notorious for lacking female workers, who comprise less than two per cent of the hands-on industry worldwide.

While women account for 47 per cent of all employed persons globally, according to a 2023 report published by the Bureau of Labour Statistics, women in manual roles make up just 1.25 per cent of the workforce.
