Watch the full ‘Gender Equity Insights 2024’ report launch now
Published10 September 2024
Our latest report, Gender Equity Insights 2024: The changing nature of part-time work, was launched nationally online on Monday 9 September.
This new report provides an in-depth analysis of the evolving nature of part-time work and implications of this change for the future of work in Australia, finding:
- Part-time roles dropped by 3.2 percentage points in the past two years
- A rise in flexible full-time and hybrid roles has enabled more employee choice
- The labour market is shifting, especially in women’s part-time and flexible work
- A need for action to prioritise gender equity across all job levels, not just management
The report identifies an important shift in how employees choose to engage in the workforce, as they increasingly seek flexibility and opportunities to tailor work schedules and locations to their needs, and calls on employers to develop a plan for action that normalises both flexible and part-time work, without career penalties.
