Setting Targets

MEDIA RELEASE: New WGEA results confirm improvement in gender equality, but more to do to in Australian workplaces

Target setting for Gender Equality Literature Review

Over a quarter of a century until gender pay gap likely to close

A new report shows that although progress has been made in recent years to reduce the gender pay gap in Australia, it will still take more than a quarter of a century to close it.

New data to explore promotion rates of women and men

New data collected from Australian employers on the status of women and men in the workplace will look at rates of promotion by gender as well as the impact of having children on workforce participation.

Data shows action speaks louder than words

The latest WGEA data confirms that when Australian employers take action- the gender pay gap declines. Five years of WGEA data shows that year-on-year employer action to address pay equity has increased and year-on-year the gender pay gap has decreased.

New home for employers’ data

Today, alongside the launch of WGEA’s fifth year of data, we have also launched a brand new way for you to explore WGEA’s archives of individual employers’ data. The WGEA Data Explorer has been updated and is now a one-stop shop for all public data collected by the Agency.
