Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) is seeking public feedback to help shape policies that support gender economic equality in Australia.
The Gender Economic Equality Study will examine the gendered nature of the world of work, education, skills and training. For example, how workforce participation, education choices, career progression and pay gaps are gendered, and how we can offer public policy solutions.
Two key challenges are highlighted:
- How education choices, divides and outcomes are shaped by gender.
- How these intersect with the gender make-up of jobs and industries across Australia.
The aim is to gain a deep understanding of how gender economic equality varies across groups to inform targeted policy solutions.
Stakeholder feedback is a valuable part of the process. It will help to strengthen findings and present comprehensive evidence to assist with the development of policies that reflect the real-world experiences of Australia’s diverse labour market.
