The Gender Pay Gap Among Australian Artists: Some preliminary findings
In Australia in 2016/17, female artists earned 25% less than for males, and women earned 30% less from their creative work. These differentials were greater than the workforce gender pay gap of 16% at that time.
'We are therefore left with the conclusion that women artists across all artistic occupations are subject to forms of gender-related disadvantage that reflect discriminatory problems affecting women in society at large, and which may be more serious in the arts than in other areas.'
