The document discusses diversity and gender equality in the Australian workplace. It summarizes that while Australian girls outperform boys in literacy and are more likely to complete high school and university, women still face barriers in the workforce. Women now outnumber men in bachelor's degree enrollments but have lower starting salaries. While women represent over half of university graduates, they hold less than 13% of senior executive positions. The document argues Australia is not maximizing its economic potential by failing to address issues that prevent women from advancing their careers.

Female Occupational Crowding and Entrepreneurial Outcomes: Measurement and P...Ruta Aidis
Female entrepreneurs do not exist in a vacuum but are influenced by previous work experience and networks so it is no wonder that women’s entrepreneurial activity tends to be concentrated in specific sectors. Occupation crowding in terms of jobs being considered ‘male’ or ‘female’ jobs influences entrepreneurship crowding resulting in female entrepreneurial activities being concentrated in a small number of sectors. In this paper, we (1) Introduce a quantitative indicator that measures the male/female labor force balance and calculate it for a 30 country sample; (2) Identify the sectors which are most affected by occupational and entrepreneurship crowding; and (3) Discuss the policy implications of these findings.

Re-imagining our workplaces Communiqué of the Gender Equity in the Workplace ...Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality is an issue that exists for every organisation. Yet, unfortunately for many organisations, it remains an issue that is not appropriately recognised or addressed. The leadership of these organisations is facing a serious loss of competitive advantage by not seeking to capitalise on the gender dividend.
The annual Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit is co-hosted by UN Women Australia and the Australian Human Resources Institute. It provides a space for Australian business leaders to discuss their joint leadership role in empowering women and ensuring gender equality in the workplace. It is frequently cited that while over 50 percent of Australian university graduates are women, and many companies employ equal numbers of men and women at graduate level, the percentage of women drops sharply from the first team leader role, and continues to drop off as careers progress toward the executive levels.
If we want to harness the full power of the workforce in these competitive times we need to change these statistics. Australian law affirms women’s entitlement to equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination. Yet in practice inequality exists in many ways. Women continue to be disproportionately affected by issues of economic security, pay inequality, access to leadership opportunities, taking on the majority of caring responsibilities and a lack of representation in decision making. Last year, Summit participants agreed that change was needed.
They called on government to provide greater access to affordable child care, they called on employers to implement targets for women in leadership, and they called for education and stronger data. This year, through a series of Thought Leader Workshop Groups, delegates set out to develop tangible recommendations for employers about how to further embed gender equity in the workplace. The recommendations in this document are based on that substantial contribution. Complementary to these recommendations are the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs),1 developed by the United Nations Global Compact and UN Women, and the eight recommendations from the inaugural Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit in 2011.2 The WEPs share with the Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit an emphasis on the importance of courageous leadership in building gender equality at work.
In 2009, Australia’s Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, brought together 12 of Australia’s most senior male leaders for the purpose of increasing gender equality and the representation of women in leadership within Australia. They are the Male Champions of Change

Do Women Earn Less Even as Social EntrepreneursSEFORÏS
Based upon unique survey data collected using respondent driven sampling methods, we
investigate whether there is a gender pay gap among social entrepreneurs in the UK. We find
that women as social entrepreneurs earn 29% less than their male colleagues, above the
average UK gender pay gap of 19%. We estimate the adjusted pay gap to be about 23%
after controlling for a range of demographic, human capital and job characteristics, as well as
personal preferences and values. These differences are hard to explain by discrimination
since these CEOs set their own pay. Income may not be the only aim in an entrepreneurial
career, so we also look at job satisfaction to proxy for non-monetary returns. We find female
social entrepreneurs to be more satisfied with their job as a CEO of a social enterprise than
their male counterparts. This result holds even when we control for the salary generated
through the social enterprise. Our results extend research in labour economics on the gender
pay gap as well as entrepreneurship research on women’s entrepreneurship to the novel
context of social enterprise. It provides the first evidence for a “contented female social
entrepreneur” paradox.
Girls are socialised to grow knowing that their role is taking care of the families. The homemaking role continues to override women career aspirations among the Kenyan women. With emerging trends in the last three decades in Kenya, more girls have continued to access higher education with most studies showing that they still fall under the social sciences. Very few women enrol and complete training in science and technology fields at higher education. This paper examines the role of career counsellors in informing career decision-making process for girls to empower them to aspire fields in science fields, a Kenyan perspective.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. Diversity is an important issue for
economic success in Australia
The recent Business Council of Australia
report acknowledges that despite the two
waves of change we have already had
(legislation for equality in 1999 and specific
training by employers), there is a growing
acknowledgement that organisations are
inherently gendered. Gender diversity is
about having and valuing diversity in teams,
styles and thinking, different perceptions of
problems and different viewpoints.
Diversity is not comfortable, but offers
superior organisational effectiveness
The diversity issue cuts both ways in Australia;
young males do less well in school,
particularly in literacy and subsequently
tertiary education; then we lose the training
we have invested in women in their late 20s
to mid 30s as they fail to progress to
leadership roles in organisations.

Australian girls are ahead
of boys on Literacy
15 year old girls out perform boys on
reading literacy in Australia.
At age 15, girls outperform boys in reading
in every PISA participating country and
economy. The reading performance
gender gap is equivalent, across OECD
countries, to one years worth of
schooling.
In mathematics, boys outperform girls in
some countries and economies but
differences are generally smaller. In
science, gender differences are small and
there is no consistent pattern across
countries.

are less likely to complete yr 12 than female students
Since 1984, female students have been more
likely to continue through to Year 12 than male
students.
In a pattern reflecting almost all OECD
countries, while many boys perform well, on
average boys achieve less than girls. Boys are
less likely than girls to complete high school,
and are less likely to go to university.
In 2010, this had increased to 73% of young
men and 83% of young women who
completed high school in Australia.

7. Yet median starting salaries
for women are consistently lower than males…
The transition from education to paid work is a crucial moment which
lays the foundation for many of the inequalities encountered in the
labour market throughout women’s working lives.
In 2012 the starting salary for recent female bachelor degree
graduates was 90% of a male graduates salary…$50,000 compared
with $55,000.
The salary disparity between men and women for post graduate
work is more pronounced than that of bachelor degree candidates:
2010 median full time salary for females masters by course work
graduates was $70,000 compared with $85,000 for male
graduates, despite similar numbers of enrolments.

13. Warren Buffet is bullish on women
“
We’ve seen what can be
accomplished when we use 50
per cent of our human capacity.
If you visualise what 100 per
cent can do, you’ll join me as an
unbridled optimist.
Warren Buffet ,
Fortune Magazine May 20, 2013
“
Women should never forget that
it is common for powerful and
seemingly self-assured males to
have more than a bit of the
Wizard of Oz in them. Pull the
curtain aside, and you'll often
discover they are not supermen
after all. (Just ask their wives!)
