A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 54.5 per cent of Australian women were employed in the year to January 2016, compared with 52.5 per cent in the year to January 2006. The proportion of women employed part-time has risen from 25.7 per cent to 26.2 per cent over this period, and the proportion of women employed full-time has increased from 26.8 per cent to 28.3 per cent. In contrast, the proportion of employed men has fallen from 66.8 per cent to 65.6 per cent, driven by a decrease (from 54.6 per cent to 51.0 per cent) in those working full-time. Meanwhile, 6.5 per cent of Australian men and 3.1 per cent of women work full-time in jobs that fall under the "Professionals" category, while 12.2 per cent of men and 6.5 per cent of women hold managerial roles. The survey also shows that women tend to earn less than their male colleagues, except in lower salary echelons.
