Equal Employment Opportunity in Australia and Britain: Policy Approaches and Progress

澳大利亚和英国的平等就业机会：政策途径和进展。澳大利亚和英国从20世纪80年代开始实行平等就业机会政策，以应对妇女处于不利地位的劳动力地位。这些政策旨在消除阻碍妇女平等参与的障碍。两国都采取了类似的做法，但澳大利亚的做法是以立法为基础的，而英国的做法是雇主主导和自愿的。目前还没有对这些项目进行独立审查。本项目考察了两国平等就业机会的理论基础和模式，比较了所取得的成果和立法在解释平等就业机会结果差异方面的作用。它将为国家政策分析和出版参考出版物作出贡献。

Equal Employment Opportunity in Australia and Britain: Policy Approaches and Progress. Equal employment opportunity policies were introduced in Australia and Britain from the 1980s in response to women's disadvantaged workforce position. These policies aimed to eliminate barriers to women's equal participation. Similar approaches were taken in both countries, but Australia's was underpinned by legislation, while Britain's was employer led and voluntary. No independent examination of these programs has yet been undertaken. This project examines the rationale and model for EEO in both countries, compares outcomes achieved and the role of legislation in explaining differences in EEO outcomes. It will contribute to national policy analysis and produce refereed publications.
