How doesNSW compare?The ABS publishes the GenderIndicators, Australia series everysix months. It sets out a rangeof indicators against which it ispossible to examine how women inNSW are faring compared with allwomen in Australia.Where data is available, acomparison reveals that womenin NSW have slightly lower labourforce participation rates and higherearnings and superannuation thanwomen in Australia more widely.Detailed information is contained inthe Appendix.Data published elsewhereindicates that lower labour forceparticipation rates are due in partto high educational participation byyoung NSW women. At later ages,NSW’s female participation ratesare historically and comparativelyhigh, and do not show thetraditional dip in participationreflecting women’s exit from thelabour force in child-bearingyears that exists elsewhere 19 .Mean and median hourly ordinarytime cash earnings are bothhigher for NSW compared toAustralian women by $1.90 and$0.40 respectively (see Appendix).Figure 4.11Gender pay gaps at different percentiles, NSW and Australia, 2010At 80th percentileAt 60th percentileAt 40th percentileAt 20th percentile8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20Note: Gross annual earnings for full-time employees.Figure 4.7 above shows that overtime, the gender pay gap in NSWhas narrowed more than has thenational one.
