Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Despite the increase in workforce participation, women in Australia are still struggling to access quality, well-paid work. The gender pay gap persists, with women earning, on average, 14.1% less than men. Flexible work options are available, but many women still face barriers to accessing them, such as stigmatization or lack of supportive workplace policies. While there has been progress in increasing the number of women in leadership positions, they still make up less than 30% of executives and about 17% of CEOs in Australia, making it unlikely that women make up over 40% of company directors.
