#32 - Falling Through the Gap: Exploring Australia’s Gender Pay Divide...ft. Mira

What does QANTAS, Lorna Jane and Pandora all have in common? Massive gender pay gaps.

Join myself (Ben), Brody, Cam and friend of the show Mira, as we attempt to comprehend the nuanced world of gender pay equity in Australia. Drawing from the latest findings of the WGEA Report, we explore the stark realities of gender pay gaps across various industries, shedding light on the disparities that persist in our workforce.

We unravel the complexities of confirmation bias and its role in shaping narratives around gender pay gaps, challenging listeners to critically examine the data presented to them. We confront the harsh realities of the Motherhood penalty and gender discrimination, discussing their impact on women's earnings and career trajectories.

We do however highlight the countries that are making strides in closing the gender pay gap, offering insights into their successful strategies and policies (of course it’s the Nordic countries *eye roll*).
