A five-year special investigation into women in leadership finds there's still an average $162,000 pay gap among women running top companies.

"I think about five weeks after having my first daughter I was really working part-time unpaid at home in order to keep up.She said that was why, as leader of AbbVie, she took a proactive role in fostering a flexible workplace.

Fewer large Australian companies are run by women than are run by men named John. Or Peter. Or David. Boards can also play a role: those with an equal share of men and women grow the proportion of full-time female managers by 7.3 per cent." gives us the evidence that female managers are twice as likely to return to work if their employer provides 13-plus weeks of paid parental leave," she said.

Girls / women, watch this! FearlessGirl

Still don't understand the need to compete. Surely if you are the best there is it isn't a competition

Only 80 years! For some lads it Seems a bit too soon doesn’t it?

Funny story. ABC had female top dog in 1980s... British PM is 1980s. Every state hs had at least one female Premier. Hundreds of female CEOs and business leaders. If you're not one, you're not good enough. Hardly anyone gets it - & plenty more men than women trying to! .

Of all places, the ABC should be aware of the downside of placing women in the top job who are out of their depth!

More fake paygap rubbish. Women in Australia have all the same opportunities as men. Most ppl don’t want to enslave themselves to a career just to attempt to make it to the top. Women have agency & can make their own decisions. Feminists need to stop telling women what to do!
