Women execs earning half as much as men
WOMEN are still not being paid nearly as much as their male counterparts in the workplace, even in the top echelons of the business world, a new report has found. A report by the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA), to be launched by Minister for Women Tanya Plibersek today, found only 7 per cent of top earner positions in the ASX 200 list of companies - or 83 out of 1136 - are held by women. The report found female chief financial officers and chief operating officers earned half the salary of their male equivalents, while chief executive officers fared only slightly better, earning two-thirds what a man would in the same job. The damning figures, contained in the EOWA's Gender Income Distribution of Top Earners report, were based on data collected by Macquarie University for the 2006 EOWA Women in Leadership Census.
