By Jamila Rizvi Leadership Today the WGEA releases its latest data on workplace gender equality. Here's what you need to know. By Jamila Rizvi Previous article Debunking The Myth Of The Lonely Single Woman Next article It Might Be Time To Put Down The Almond Latte Today Australia’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) releases its 2017-18 scorecard. The dataset includes results from around 4500 non-government employers of more than 100 people. And while the general trajectory of data is positive, the overall picture is pretty disappointing for working women. When the World Economic Forum famously predicted that true gender equality was still a century away, they weren’t kidding around.In the good news, there’s a greater number of Australian employers implementing policies for gender equality, including flexible work arrangements. We also witnessed the largest single-year drop in our country’s gender pay gap for more than five years. It’s fallen a little over one percent, to 21.3 percent (when accounting for total remuneration, not just base salary). What does this mean? Well, men still take home more than $25,000 a year on average than women. Future Women is a new media platform dedicated to the professional and personal success of each other. We need your support.
