Q+A: The gender pay gap is narrowing, but it's still too wide

from FEAR & GREED | Business News · host Fear and Greed

Australian employers are making progress on closing the gender pay gap, but there’s still a lot of work ahead.

More organisations are within the target range but half still sit above it, and men remain almost twice as likely to occupy the highest paid roles.Mary Wooldridge, CEO of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, joins Sean Aylmer to discuss what’s driving the improvement, and why narrowing the gap requires long-term cultural change, not just policy reform.Find out more: https://fearandgreed.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
