The graduate labour force: gender at work

Today more young women than young men have tertiary qualifications and they are just as likely as young men to find work which uses these qualifications. They are, however, less well paid. Even women who work full-time and who have no children earn less than their male equivalents. Male graduates are more likely to become managers and this explains part, but not all, of the earnings gap. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
