When the women of Australia started their march towards equal rights almost half a century ago, they envisaged broad-ranging changes. Today, women make up slightly less than half the total workforce. But bastions of male privilege remain - none more so than the company boardroom. Women account for less than one in 10 private company directorships. And while women earn 16% less than men in overall terms, in the financial sector they earn up to 32% less. In this Talking Point, we look at the glass ceilings and quotas that continue to impede women inside the boardroom and out.
