The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre (BCEC) and the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) invites you to a lunch event to launch the fourth report in the BCEC|WGEA Gender Equity series with special guest speaker, the Hon Julie Bishop MP.
Gender Equity Insights 2019: Breaking through the Glass Ceiling extends and strengthens the evidence base around gender equality throughout Australian workplaces and its changes over the last five years.
The report profiles gender pay gaps across occupations and industry sectors using five years of the extensive WGEA reporting data that covers around 4 million Australian workers each year.
A Special Investigation on Women in Leadership is included, examining the role of workplace environments and policy initiatives in progressing women in the workforce and in narrowing the gender pay gap.
Please join us for lunch with our esteemed panel: the Hon Julie Bishop MP, Libby Lyons, Director, Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) and Rowan Munchenberg, Managing Director, Bankwest, with BCEC Director Professor Alan Duncan and BCEC Principal Research Fellow Associate Professor Rebecca Cassells.
