Joyce Stevens

Abstract

The phasing in of "equal pay for equal work" was completed In 1975. Still, almost 10 years later, women's average earnings are considerably lower than men's. Joyce Stevens looks at a range of factors which result in Australia's having the most sex segregated workforce of all the developed OECD countries, and offers a number of strategies for changing this inequitable situation.
