Women’s Employment Status Key Indicators (WESKI)
A comprehensive report on women’s position in the Australian workforce, Women’s Employment Status Key Indicators, was released by the three commissioning organisations, the National Foundation of Australian Women (NFAW), the Women’s Electoral Lobby (WEL), and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.
The WESKI report makes a number of recommendations to improve the capacity of government and non-government organisations to monitor women’s employment entitlements under the new regulations.
