Abstract
This
wide
ranging
lecture
documents
the
extraordinary
labour
market
gains
that
the
average
woman
has
made
in
Australia,
relative
to
the
average
man,
over
the
last
half
century.
It
discusses
what
has
been
learnt
from
this
history.
Which
factors
impacted
most
on
changes
in
gender
labour
market
outcomes
and
why
did
they
occur?
The
lecture
also
conjectures
whether,
from
a
macro
perspective,
significant
movement
towards
labour
market
equality
for
the
average
woman
has
more-or-less
come
to
an
end
and,
if
so,
what
could
significantly
change
this?
Could
it
even
be
argued
that
the
gender
equality
movement
is
losing
its
focus
and
effectiveness?
