Greater labour force participation by women will reduce the disparity in outcomes for women and men, with resulting benefits for families, personal skills development, women's financial independence and their retirement incomes. The government has funded a range of initiatives, including the project with UnitingCare. These include: our partnership with ASIC to upgrade the MoneySmart website, which includes new content designed to improve women's financial literacy at all stages of their life; funding the Australian Human Rights Commission to deliver a practical resource on employers' legal obligations, employees' rights and strategies to assist working parents to navigate various family stages, such as pregnancy, parental leave and return to work; and, of course, supporting disadvantaged women to find sustainable employment and to increase their financial independence through our partnership with Fitted for Work.
