“…As such, individuals working in the construction industry can also experience detrimental effects of ageism. The construction industry is characterized by unique challenges such as physically demanding labor (Zhang and Lin, 2023), experience, and technology use (Brell-Cokcan et al, 2023). These characteristics are often associated with youth and vitality while on the other end lies the question of experience.…”

Despite the growing emphasis on workplace diversity and inclusion, ageism remains prevalent in various industries, including construction. Through an extensive review of literature and a United States national-level survey, this paper investigates the adverse impacts of ageism on the overall well-being of the construction workforce, focusing on their mental and physical health. The questionnaire was distributed among individuals working in the construction industry sector who were randomly selected and received 72 responses. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using binomial logistic regression in modeling the relationship between ageism, and mental and physical health of the construction workforce. The research results indicate that ageism has a statistically significant (p < .001) positive relationship between both the mental and physical health of the construction workforce. The results, therefore, show that ageism has an impact on the mental and physical well-being of workers in the construction industry. Furthermore, the results show that individuals in the construction workforce who experience ageism are more likely to have their mental health and physical well-being impacted compared to those who don't experience ageism. Consequently, the results highlight the need for proactive measures to combat age discrimination and promote a healthier and more inclusive work environment for construction workers of all ages.

Digital federated platforms and data cooperatives for secure, trusted and sovereign data exchange will play a central role in the construction industry of the future. With the help of platforms, cooperatives and their novel value creation, the digital transformation and the degree of organization of the construction value chain can be taken to a new level of collaboration. The goal of this research project was to develop an experimental prototype for a federated innovation data platform along with a suitable exemplary use case. The prototype is to serve the construction industry as a demonstrator for further developments and form the basis for an innovation platform. It exemplifies how an overall concept is concretely implemented along one or more use cases that address high-priority industry pain points. This concept will create a blueprint and a framework for further developments, which will then be further established in the market. The research project illuminates the perspective of various governance innovations to increase industry collaboration, productivity and capital project performance and transparency as well as the overall potential of possible platform business models. However, a comprehensive expert survey revealed that there are considerable obstacles to trust-based data exchange between the key stakeholders in the industry value network. The obstacles to cooperation are predominantly not of a technical nature, but of a competitive, predominantly trust-related nature. To overcome these obstacles and create a pre-competitive space of trust, the authors therefore propose the governance structure of a data cooperative model, which is discussed in detail in this paper.
