This is a piece of work I did several years ago for some partners. It was bascially a tool to help the organisation look at different professions and assess gender pay equality, although it can really be used by anyone. The tool allows drill down features so that the impacts of the likes of age and gender can be isolated. The tool was extended to view a multitude of socioeconomic profiles across all professions.  It uses 2016 census data so a little out of date, but on the other hand the richness of the census gives much greater depth than we would see in other sources.

The interactive tool below allows us to explore pay inequality and diversity by job.  By factoring biases in age, education and industry we can generate a more balanced view of the gender pay gap in different jobs.  Further exploration well and truely shows there remains a considerable pay gap in Australia.

​

Getting a fair view of the gender pay gap is difficult as it often dismisses other factors which may drive this imbalance.  Using the ABS Census Table Builder Pro we can use income data along with other personal variables to overcome this. Although census reported income does include interest, rent and other income, it is predominantly salary making this an accurate (albeit imperfect) measure.  Below we see the jobs with the largest pay gap favoring males - followed by some of the few where the pay gap is reversed.
