Australian Labor Party to Compel Companies to Reveal Gender Pay Gap If Elected
Large business could be forced to publicly reveal gender pay gaps in a proposal pitched by Federal Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese.
Announcing the policy on March 7, Albanese said that the opposition would lead a national push to help close the gender pay gap, if they win government at the next election.
The pitch forms part of the opposition’s four-point plan to address the pay gap between men and women in Australia, which stands at 13.4 percent or $242 per week for full-time employees, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
