what is the gender wage gap
The gender pay gap is the difference between womenâs and menâs average weekly full-time equivalent earnings, expressed as a percentage of menâs earnings. The Agency calculates the national gender pay gap using Australian Bureau of Statistics' Average Weekly Full-Time Earnings data (cat. No. 6302.0). The national gender pay gap is currently 17.9% and has hovered between 15% and 19% for the past two decades.
