had to do workplace discrimination and harrassment course today:

Women get (a) 66% of the male wage overall. Full-time workers get 84%. Women make up 71% of the casual and part-time workforce. This figure is much higher than in any other industrialised country.

what the hell is going on?

34% of people from non-English speaking backgrounds are over-educated for their jobs.

Some people believe all the blame lies with the disadvantaged group but it is interesting to note that groups can behave very differently in different situations. Koreans in the USA are very successful. In Japan, where they face considerable discrimination, they have similar problems of juvenile delinquency and poor academic success to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.

By 2040 more than (c) 22% of the population will be over 65. By 2041, for every 100 people in the workforce there will be 36 elderly people and 29 child dependents. The average life expectancy for men will be 81.5 and for women 86.
