Women in Media is proud to unveil a first-of-its-kind dataset that provides a clear, data-driven picture of gender equality in the Australian media industry.

​

​Compiled by Dr. Leonora Risse, an economist specialising in gender equality, this report offers a tailored dataset that dissects workforce trends by occupation and sector - insights that aren’t readily available elsewhere. The findings reveal both progress and persistent barriers for women working in media. It offers an evidence-based foundation for individuals, organisations, and policymakers to better understand where gender disparities persist - and where action is needed.
