The latest scorecard on financial gender equality in Australia, the Financy Women’s Index (FWX), has recorded the strongest annual progress since December 2021, with Australia’s journey to equality gaining momentum in 2024 despite an uncertain outlook.
The FWX score rose to 77.59 points out of 100 in the December quarter, up from 76.83 points in December 2023.
The result was helped by three key data points: a record number of women on ASX 200 Boards; a narrowing of the gender gap in Unpaid Work; and female employment growth, with the FWX Employment sub-index rising to the highest it’s been since June 2023.
