A new shock report has revealed it will take over 200 years for Australian women to achieve income equity with men
A new report by has revealed income equity for women in Australia is more than 200 years away, if rates stay as they are now.
The Australian first report always shows women have poorer health than men. Women in lower income jobs have consistently reported poorer health outcomes.
In regards to full time employment equality with men, it will take at least 70 years to reach on par.
The data shows there’s an $24,000 gap in income between males and females.
Absence in the female labour force is costing $72bn in lost GDP, fuelling inequities.
Noticeably, the new figures show distress levels in women aged 18 to 24 and 55 to 64 have increased dramatically over the last 20 years.
The anxiety is directly linked to financial inequity.
