Australia has made progress toward gender equity but is now declining or stagnating in several key areas: 1) The number of women in leadership positions in corporate Australia and in political power has decreased or remained unchanged in recent years. 2) Australia's global ranking on measures of gender equity such as the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index has been falling, and the country now trails other nations. 3) Significant gender pay gaps remain across many professions in Australia, with women earning less than men in equivalent roles.
