    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

    We’ve all seen reports of studies demonstrating women’s inequality at work. It is well established that women are disproportionately under-represented in higher-paid positions and industries, and that there is a gender pay gap of 17.5% between men and women. Lack of pay equity and equal opportunities are the elephants in the room for every woman in the Australian workforce.

    Although the causes are complex, research suggests they are based on deep cultural expectations and stereotypes that do not have to do with the efforts of individual women at work. Australia’s legislation requiring employers to provide equal opportunity programs for women at work (the Equal Employment for Women at Work Act 1986) has now been amended and renamed the Workplace Gender Equality Act. It now aims to ensure equality at work for both women and men, with a focus on sex discrimination and the treatment of workers with caring responsibilities.

    The act applies to the same employers as the previous law: all higher education institutions and non-government employers of more than 100 employees are covered. The exclusion of small businesses appears to be an acknowledgment that smaller organizations may not have the human resources capacity to comply with the requirements. Public employment is also excluded.

    It is clear that deep cultural change will be needed to move away from stereotypical expectations about the incompatibility of femininity and leadership; women’s inherent responsibility for childcare; and the “normal” worker being a full-time worker free of caring responsibilities according to the historical male model.
