International Women’s Day has seen the Australian Council of Trade Unions release a report detailing increasing job insecurity and pay gaps for women, today.
The report finds women in Australia face a gender pay gap of 13.4 per cent and shows that 21 per cent of the female workforce lost work or are experiencing pressure on their capacity to retain paid work due to the pandemic, amongst other key findings.
Australia currently has the 44th highest gender pay disparity of any country.
