‘One of the boys?’: The work and career experiences of Australian women working in automotive trades occupations

This report forms part of a larger study of women working in three highly male-dominated sectors and occupations: investment management, automotive trades, and pilots. In Australia, women comprise 10-14 per cent of employees in investment management occupations, 2.5 per cent of automotive tradespeople, and 6 per cent of commercial pilots. In this report we profile the work and career experiences of women in automotive trades occupations and automotive industry occupations, using data collected between July and September 2018. We analysed data drawn from three sources: 12 face-to-face and telephone interviews with industry stakeholders; an online survey of 119 female employees in automotive trades occupations; and 20 telephone interviews with female apprentices or qualified automotive tradeswomen

Women and the Future of Work: Report 1 of The Australian Women’s Working Futures Project

This publication reports the findings from a combined quantitative and qualitative study of Australian working women, aged under 40. It draws together four separate data sources: a nationally representative online survey of (n=2,109) working women under 40; a smaller comparative survey of (n=502) working men under 40; additional boosted survey sample among (n=53) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander working women aged under 40; and the findings from five focus groups of (n=41) working women under 40. Quantitative fieldwork was conducted between September and October, while qualitative fieldwork was conducted in November 2017. At the time of being surveyed: over half of the women in the sample (55%) were working full-time or part-time for an employer, a fifth (19%) were working on a casual, freelance or short-term contract basis and 6% were self-employed. Half of the women (55%) were working in the private sector, 28% in the public sector and 6% for not-for-profit organisations. Over half (56%) were working in four industry sectors: retail trade, healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and accommodation and food services. A sample profile is included at the end of the Methodology section (Section 2)

‘Non-traditional investors’? The work and career experiences of Australian women working in investment management

This report forms part of a larger study of women working in three highly male-dominated sectors and occupations: investment management, automotive trades, and pilots. In Australia, women comprise 17 per cent of employees in investment management occupations, 1.5 per cent of automotive tradespeople, and 6 per cent of commercial pilots.1 In this report we profile the work and career experiences of women in investment management occupations using data collected in 2018. We analysed data drawn from three sources: 10 face-to-face and telephone interviews with industry stakeholders; an online survey of 124 female employees in investment management occupations; and telephone interviews with 17 survey respondents and 3 self-employed women working in the sector. Most survey respondents were aged 35-54 years, held middle-ranking or senior positions, and had worked in investment management for more than 11 years. Just under two-thirds had children and the majority worked full-time hours. The largest proportions worked in superannuation funds and major funds management organisations, as analysts, senior analysts or portfolio/investment managers

Paid parental leave evaluation: Phase 1

From 1 January 2011, Australian families in which a mother was in the paid workforce before the birth or adoption of a baby may be eligible for a new Australian Government-funded Paid Parental Leave (PPL)1 scheme. The scheme provides eligible parents with up to 18 weeks of Parental Leave Pay (PLP), paid at the National Minimum Wage, following the birth of a child. The PPL scheme brings Australia into line with all other OECD countries, except the United States, in having a national scheme for paid leave available to mothers following childbirth.

Millennium Mums Report, waves 1-5

This report presents key findings from Enhancing Mothers’ Workforce Engagement in the Preschool Years, an Australian Research Council Linkage project in partnership with the Department of Social Services, commonly referred to as the Millennium Mums (MM) project. The aims of the project were to examine women’s expectations of employment and their experiences of returning to employment following the birth of a baby. More broadly, the project provided an opportunity to investigate a range of related issues including child care, father’s leave taking arrangements, gender divisions of labour within the household and the health and wellbeing of mothers and children. All of these issues are of interest to those concerned with women’s employment transitions and all are intricately bound up with mother’s expectations and experiences of combining employment with the care of a young child or children

Management of Gastroschisis: Results From the NETS2G Study, a Joint British, Irish, and Canadian Prospective Cohort Study of 1268 Infants.

OBJECTIVE: In infants with gastroschisis, outcomes were compared between those where operative reduction and fascial closure were attempted ?24?hours of age (PC), and those who underwent planned closure of their defect >24?hours of age following reduction with a pre-formed silo (SR). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Inadequate evidence exists to determine how best to treat infants with gastroschisis. METHODS: A secondary analysis was conducted of data collected 2006-2008 using the British Association of Pediatric Surgeons Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System, and 2005-2016 using the Canadian Pediatric Surgery Network.28-day outcomes were compared between infants undergoing PC and SR. Primary outcome was number of gastrointestinal complications. Interactions were investigated between infant characteristics and treatment to determine whether intervention effect varied in sub-groups of infants. RESULTS: Data from 341 British and Irish infants (27%) and 927 Canadian infants (73%) were used. 671 infants (42%) underwent PC and 597 (37%) underwent SR. The effect of SR on outcome varied according to the presence/absence of intestinal perforation, intestinal matting and intestinal necrosis. In infants without these features, SR was associated with fewer gastrointestinal complications [aIRR 0.25 (95% CI 0.09-0.67, P = 0.006)], more operations [aIRR 1.40 (95% CI 1.22-1.60, P < 0.001)], more days PN [aIRR 1.08 (95% CI 1.03-1.13, P < 0.001)], and a higher infection risk [aOR 2.06 (95% CI 1.10-3.87, P = 0.025)]. In infants with these features, SR was associated with a greater number of operations [aIRR 1.30 (95% CI 1.17-1.45, P < 0.001)], and more days PN [aIRR 1.06 (95% CI 1.02-1.10, P = 0.003)]. CONCLUSIONS: In infants without intestinal perforation, matting, or necrosis, the benefits of SR outweigh its drawbacks. In infants with these features, the opposite is true. Treatment choice should be based upon these features
