Financy Women's Index

MEDIA RELEASE SYDNEY: 8 March 2019 - The Association of Financial Advisers is proud to support the release of the 2019 Financial Women’s Index. The Women’s Index, which measures the economic progress of Australian women on a quarterly basis, rose 1.9 points to 122.7 points in the March quarter, up from a revised 120.8 points in December 2018. The result reflects the fastest pace of women’s quarterly progress in two years, helped by record female full-time employment, workforce participation, improved educational enrolments and earnings growth relative to men as reflected in a record low of the gender pay gap.
