Abstract

Western Sydney has experienced a period of rapid growth in employment rates and educational attainment, particularly among women. However, women in Western Sydney provide more unpaid childcare and earn less than women in the rest of Sydney. Enhancing women's labour force potential is essential, not only for social equality but also for maximising the potential of emerging innovation districts. This research report provides innovative recommendations to improve women's workforce participation and empowerment and has the potential to bridge the gender gap and catalyse a sustainable, equitable future for Western Sydney.
