Women and Work, hosted by CDWI and The TJ Ryan Foundation

Centre for Decent Work and Industry

QUT Centre for Decent Work &amp; Industry and the TJ Ryan Foundation, explore the contours of women and work, now and into the future.

Old Government House

Although women make-up just over half of the Australian population and comprise close to half of the Australian workforce, entrenched gender bias continues to exist across all stages of the career cycle. Women earn less than their male counterparts and are more likely to engage in precarious or part-time work. Women also continue to be underrepresented in senior management roles, and women of colour, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities are more likely to experience microagressions as professionals. However, although gender is a defining characteristic of contemporary work (and experiences of it) gender is rarely a focus of mainstream discussions of the future of work. The program includes the following presentations: <ul><li>Constructing a New Gender Contract for Australia - Marian Baird (Professor of Gender &amp; Employment Relations, University of Sydney) </li></ul><ul><li>Tax &amp; Superannuation Policy: Why Gender Blind is Not Enough - Kerrie Sadiq (Professor of Taxation, QUT)</li></ul><ul><li>Women, Entrepreneurship &amp; Disability - Jannine Williams (Senior Lecturer in Human Resource Management, QUT)</li></ul><ul><li>Special guest, Professor Linda Colley - Special Commissioner Equity and Diversity, Queensland Public Service Commission</li></ul>
