Addressing Gender Gaps
- males earned more money at every education level and across many occupations and industries;
- females worked fewer hours in the paid economy and spent more time on unpaid caregiving and domestic work;
- males were less likely than females to be attending school or to hold educational qualifications;
- females were less likely to be unemployed but more likely to be outside of the labour force;
- occupational and industrial segregation showed that females and males are often taking different career paths; and
- females suffered from chronic non-communicable diseases at higher rates.
