EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA

Abstract

Among some commentators abroad, Australia enjoys a reputation as a country in which the “three cornered suspension” afforded by conciliation and arbitration machinery has assisted both sense and sensibility in wage fixation. (Though Australians may sometimes feel that the arbitration system is not without honour save in its own country.) In the light of international interest in Australian wage determination, it may therefore be useful to examine Australian progress towards equal pay for women.
