Women in mining and the gender pay gap

AusIMM’s Women in Mining Survey 2020 was released last month, giving a snapshot of women employed in the mining industry. The study looked at everything from participation levels to pay rates so we thought it was a good time for us to dive back into the thorny issue of the gender pay gap in mining.

• Yes, they’re working hard on it
• Yes, but they could do more
• No, they’re not doing anywhere near enough
• No, they’re not even looking at it
• I don’t know what they’re doing about it

• All or most of the time
• Some of the time
• Maybe in a few select roles
• Never – they’re paid the same
• Unsure

• There is no gap
• Men are paid 1-3% more than women
• Men are paid 3-5% more than women
• Men are paid 5-10% more than women
• Men are paid 10-15% more than women
• Men are paid 15-20% more than women
• Men are paid at least 20% more than women
