Reminder for the Gender Institute's timely panel discussion at 12 noon this FRIDAY 19th JUNE: All welcome to join by Zoom
This panel will address the gender implications of salary freezes, pay reductions and other cost cutting measures in public institutions
There is an emerging wave of proposals for reducing public sector wage bills in federal and state governments, as well as universities. The differential impact of such policy urgently needs to be assessed
The economic crisis and its management raises large gender and related equity questions. Key issues addressed by our panellists include:
- What are the gendered economic impacts of public austerity?
- What gender inequalities exist within public sector workforces?
- What are the short and long run gendered impacts of pay freezes?
- Can pay cuts be equitable? What are the alternatives?
Confirmed panellists:
- Trish Bergin, Co-Director Governance, 50/50 by 2030 Foundation, University of Canberra
- Alison Pennington, Senior Economist, Centre for Future Work, Australia Institute
- Tony Dreise, Director, Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research, ANU
- Rebecca Pearse, Lecturer in School of Sociology and the Fenner School, ANU
