About the Bankwest CurtinEconomics Centre

The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre is an independent economic and social research organisation located within the Curtin Business School at Curtin University. The centre was established in 2012 through the generous support from Bankwest (a division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia), with a core mission to examine the key economic and social policy issues that contribute to the sustainability of Western Australia and the wellbeing of WA households.

The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre is the first research organisation of its kind in Western Australia, and draws great strength and credibility from its partnership with Bankwest, Curtin University and the Western Australian government.

The centre brings a unique philosophy to research on the major economic issues facing the state. By bringing together experts from the research, policy and business communities at all stages of the process – from framing and conceptualising research questions, through the conduct of research, to the communication and implementation of research findings – we ensure that our research is relevant, fit for purpose, and makes a genuine difference to the lives of Australians, both in WA and nationally.

The centre is able to capitalise on Curtin University’s reputation for excellence in economic modelling, forecasting, public policy research, trade and industrial economics and spatial sciences. Centre researchers have specific expertise in economic forecasting, quantitative modelling, micro-data analysis and economic and social policy evaluation. The centre also derives great value from its close association with experts from the corporate, business, public and not-for-profit sectors.

About the Workplace Gender Equality Agency

The Workplace Gender Equality Agency is an Australian Government statutory agency created by the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.

The Agency is charged with promoting and improving gender equality in Australian workplaces.

We work collaboratively with employers providing advice, practical tools and education to help them improve their gender performance. Our staff are workplace gender equality specialists and provide industry-specific advice.

We also work with employers to help them comply with the reporting requirements under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012. This reporting framework aims to encourage measures that improve gender equality outcomes and has been designed to minimise the regulatory burden on business.

The Agency uses the reporting data to develop educational benchmark reports based on six gender equality indicators. The benchmark reports can be customised by industry and organisation size and enable employers to identify areas for focus, develop informed strategies and measure performance against peers over time.

We are committed to promoting and contributing to understanding, acceptance and public debate of gender equality issues in the workplace. We work collaboratively with employers, business, industry and professional associations, academics and researchers, equal opportunity networks and women’s groups and regularly speak at private and public events on workplace gender issues.

Welcome to the launch of the first BCEC|WGEA Gender Equity report series: Gender Equity Insights 2016: Inside Australia’s Gender Pay Gaps. This report represents the first major outcome

of an important partnership between the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre and the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, with WGEA’s valuable Gender Equity data enabling new insights into gender pay gaps across Australian organisations.

The persistent gender pay gap is an economic, political and social issue. Gender pay gaps do not always signal direct discrimination, but remain problematic for a number of reasons. They represent poorer outcomes for women in terms of economic and personal freedoms; lost human capital potential and investment; and an impairment of economic growth for a nation seeking to remain competitive on a global scale.

The report series combines an ongoing assessment of gender pay gaps in Australia with special investigations that bring new perspectives to bear on this centrally important topic.

In this first report, we focus on the link between female Board representation and the size of the gender pay gap. Our research has uncovered some of the strongest evidence to date that shows greater representation of women on Boards is associated with a significant reduction in the gender pay gap.

The report findings also draw attention to the greater remuneration men receive compared to women in almost every scenario, but particularly among more senior occupation levels and when additional remuneration is taken into account.

On behalf of BCEC and WGEA, we would like to welcome you to the launch and hope that the report findings generate much needed discussion and debate about how to promote pay equity throughout Australian workplaces. We would like to take the opportunity to thank our panellists, Managing Director of Bankwest, Mr Rob De Luca and Curtin Vice-Chancellor, Professor Deborah Terry for contributing to the launch and discussion.
