‘Unacceptable’: closing gender pay gap still hard work
Employers are called to end the gender payment gap by addressing discrimination and workplace discrimination, because the data shows that closing the gap can still take more than 20 years.
On August 19, equal payment day is 50 days to work for 50 days to gain the same amount of women’s male colleagues until the end of the financial year.
The gap is due to three main factors made by the gender discrimination of professions and industries, unequal distribution of care and family responsibilities and workplace discrimination – workplace gender equality agency.

Mary Wooldge, the general manager of the agency, should have a call for action for employers and spark conversations about the gender wage gap in workplaces.
“We can talk about the percentages of wage gaps, but when you see it in terms of real days that women should work to win the same thing as men, it makes it very concrete,” he said.
“For managers, this is an opportunity for leaders and human managers to take steps to understand what direct payment gaps in the workplace and may be a catalyst to start this process.
“For employees, the chance to start a speech that can sometimes be sensitive, but the data enable them to be more informed about this conversation.”
More than eight of the 10 Australian employers – 84.7 percent – there are average gender fees gaps except for the 5 percent target range of plus or minus.
“Every industry, including women’s dominance or gender balanced ones, has a gender payment gap in favor of men,” Woolridge said.
“The equal payment day reminds us that there are important works to get equal and fair workplaces for all people.”
According to the analysis of the Financial Women’s Index, the timeline to reach the payment in Australia is now 21.5 years.
When the timeline was first measured in 2017, it was estimated that the wage difference of gender would take 37.5 years.
Bianca Hartge-Hazelman, the founder of the index, said, “Equal payment is a definite reminder of economic reality for women, and our 21.5-year time frame is measuring the long way to the next long way,” he said.
“Although it is positive to see that the number has fallen in the long run, it represents the median point of a much more complex journey.
“It is unacceptable that women should only work for 50 days to the new financial year to capture the earnings of men.”
