"Most women are not working full-time during most of their working lives, which
holds them back from management positions and accentuates the pay gap with men,
according to data released on Monday.

Men on average out-earn women across all working age groups.

At every age group less than 50% of women were full time in 2021, according to
the Wages and Ages: Mapping the Gender Pay Gap by Age data series. This has
been issued by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, a federal government body.
The data comes from private sector employers with 100 or more employees.

The divergence in working patterns between men and women starts from age 35,
when men are mainly working full time and women mainly working part time or
casually. After 35 women are more than twice as likely to work part time and
casually than men."
