Women Do Well in Top Real Estate Jobs

ABS figures show the number of women on real estate boards has increased.

Over the last five years, the proportion of female board members in real estate firms grew, in stark contrast with many other sectors where the female presence on boards decreased. Sectors with a falling number of women board members include the media, finance and insurance, food, beverages and tobacco, and pharmaceuticals.
 
Helen Conway, Head of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency, said the overall trend of reduced female participation at board level was “very disturbing".
