DLI: Australia
Do you like this story?
In Australia we will not find wage discrimination between men and women, wages in Australia are not based on gender. In fact, grass-roots research we found the data that women receive higher wages than men, due to differences in education levels. Employees who complete UNIVERSITY receive higher wages than those who only graduated from high school or college diploma. Arguably, a large (71.79%) of respondents in Australia were graduates of University, 23.08% were graduates of diploma and 18.82% of high school and secondary school graduates. There are no respondents who graduated from elementary school. This means that education plays an important role in Australia to get a good job. By contrast, the type of work, those working in the public sector receive higher wages from working in the private sector. Our study showed significant differences in wages, public sector wages two times higher than in the private sector. Also looked sharp wage differentials between formal and informal sectors. Formal sector workers in Australia receive much higher wages compared to workers in the informal sector
Family size and marital status had no effect on the amount of wages received by workers. Among single workers and workers who are married and have children receive the same relative wage. The duration of employment of a worker determines the amount of wages they receive. Our study found gradual differences of workers from one year to five years. The longer the period of their employment, the wages they receive are also higher. Total hours worked per week also affects the amount of wages they receive. Workers who work less than 40 hours a week receive lower wages than working 40 hours or more a week. Those who work 40 hours a week receive lower wages than those working more than 40 hours a week. Most workers in Australia work more than 40 hours a week. Respondents in our study, 86.11% worked more than 40 hours a week, 8.33% work less than a week and only 5.56 work 40 hours a week.
