"Women are participating in the paid workforce more than ever before. By and
large, though, they continue to work in the same jobs females have always had.
In the 35 years from 1987 to 2022, females’ share of total hours worked in
Australia grew from 32% to 42%.
You might expect this to have led to a higher proportion of women in most jobs.
Instead, female employment has become even more concentrated in
female-dominated occupations – jobs where 70% or more of hours worked are by
women.
For example, about 95% of hours by child-care workers and 91% of hours by
receptionists was done by females in 2021-22, Australian Bureau of Statistics
data shows. These are higher percentages than in 1987.
But women accounted for just 3% of truck-driving hours, and less than 1% of
hours worked by carpenters and joiners."
