"The Albanese government’s efforts to address the gender pay gap are laudable.
Despite all the attention given to the issue over the past decade or so,
sectoral pay discrimination is very real and workplace biases persist.
But the federal government’s new tool to address the problem, the Workplace
Gender Equality Amendment Bill, may not achieve much.
The amendment to the Workplace Gender Equality Act (enacted by the Gillard
Labor government in 2012) requires all companies with more than 100 employees
to report their “gender pay gap”.
Much like the Modern Slavery Act, the idea is that public reporting will
concentrate employers’ attention on the problem, leading to greater gender
equality.
But will it?"
