There’s a lot riding on the shoulders of young Australian women, not least of which is a perpetuating gender divide in education studies and the hope of economic gender equality.

According to the latest Financy Women’s Index, the gender gap in education and expected earnings increased in the September quarter – with women earning 93.02 per cent of men’s expected earnings based on the broad field of study and enrolment numbers. This is up from 92.57 per cent in the June quarter.
