A Roy Morgan Single Source Survey has found that 52 per cent of Australian women reported being the main breadwinner in their household in the year to December 2016. This compares to just 39 per cent in 2006. The percentage of men who said they were the main income earner in their household has barely changed in 10 years (74 per cent in 2016 compared to 73 per cent in 2006). The main factor behind the increased percentage of women who are earning their household’s main income is the sharp jump in the average income being earned by females in full-time employment since 2006; up from $A51,000 to $A73,500.
