More than $200 million needed to close Victoria s pandemic gender gap

More than $200 million needed to close Victoria’s pandemic ‘gender gap’ Save Normal text size Advertisement Spending of more than $200 million is required to close the “gender gap” in employment, health and welfare between Victorian men and women and curb disproportionate impacts of economic insecurity, family violence and poor mental health on women. As women’s unemployment in Victoria remains significantly higher than men’s (8.1 per cent versus 5.9 per cent) the state’s peak gender equality agency will ask the Andrews government to invest $63 million on fast-tracking at-risk women into work. “TAFE is the engine room of skills-based education and it has to be gender equal,” says Gender Equality Victoria chief Tanja Kovac.
