"A young woman graduating from university should be starting her career on a
level playing field with her male colleagues.
However, the latest data collected in Australia’s
Graduates Outcome Survey
for 2025, released last week, show this still isn’t the case.
The survey, run by the Australian National University’s Social Research Centre,
looks at the job outcomes and starting salaries of fresh graduates four to six
months after finishing their studies.
Results showed newly minted female undergraduates are starting their
professional careers on a median full-time annual salary of $75,300, compared
with their male colleagues on $79,000.
That’s a 4.7% gap, even before the impacts of family formation and caregiving
have kicked in.
On top of this, women even start on lower salaries than their male counterparts
in some female-concentrated industries such as nursing and teaching."
