How Australia’s mining sector locks women out of high‑paying roles

Abstract
Mining is a critical industry for the Australian economy and has the potential to offer secure, well-paid and meaningful careers.
But the evidence from our review of the 29 studies of 40 years of research on women working in the Australian mining sector is clear: gender inequality is built into the structures, cultures and places that define the industry.
Until those are addressed, progress will remain partial and many women will continue to decide that entering or staying in the mining industry is not worth the cost.
