Make or Break: Women, work and the social contract with Prof Marian Baird from University of Sydney (Thursday 9th June)
This was a hybrid format event (face to face and webinar).
Abstract
The social contract for women and work is in a state of flux, perhaps even broken, and remains so post-COVID and post-election. In this lecture, Marion will canvass the flow of work over Australian women’s life courses and the policy responses, omissions and suggestions for change, at each of the points of greatest inequality.
