The lack of labor and qualified personnel against the increase in building is the main factor that is affecting the Construction sector in Spain. This, added to the low salaries In a profession as demanding as this, generational relief makes it even more difficult.
“Young people today look for something else, work in another job, stay in bed and keep your father,” says a veteran mason interviewed by Newsstrobajowhich expresses its fed up after seeing how new generations turn their backs on this trade. The speech leaves no doubt: in the construction sector there is no generational relay. Nobody wants to get on a scaffold or wear a helmet, “prefer computers, office things,” laments the worker. “They don’t want hard work,” he adds.
What do young people say about working in the work
In addition to the generational relief, this profession becomes even less attractive by the eternal working days, low salaries and Failure to comply with occupational hazardsof the agreement and labor rights. The son of the veteran mason, a young man who does not reach 25 years, also interviewed by Newsstrobajorecognize that they prefer “more comfort, do nothing and collect aid.”
He assures that today’s young people “have another mentality” to support the working conditions offered by construction, the young man remarks, who knows firsthand the fatigue of the sector.
“The self -employed are very fucking”
For his part, the veteran mason, who is also autonomous, warns of the situation of thousands of colleagues who are like him, because the problem not only lies in the desire, but in the numbers and in the form of survival. “The autonomous We are very fucked because taxes are very large and we cannot pay a very high salary for the same reason, ”he explains.
The consequences, he warns, can be devastating for anyone who needs a reform or looking for a home in the near future, since without generational relief and without incentives for young people, the works will be orphaned and the future of the brick in Spain “looks quite black,” he concludes.
