Image how would you feel if you work just as hard as your male colleagues, yet being paid less simply because of your gender, with a smaller pension awaiting you at retirement? For Australian women, this isn’t hypothetical—it’s reality. Hi everyone, I'm Zoe and I'm currently doing Master of Commerce at UNSW, specialising in Marketing and Business Analytics. Whilst studying COMM5501, I have been exploring key issues such as gender inequality in the workplace. My research has focussed on understanding the persistent gender pay gap in Australia, its causes and the solutions needed to close it. In my latest research, I found that the pay gap is not limited to wages, but also affects long-term wealth, with women retiring with 19% less superannuation than men. This systemic problem requires action from both government and business, including stronger pay equity laws, mandatory pay transparency, and flexible workplace policies that support work-life balance, all of which align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 5 - Gender Equality. It's not just about closing the numbers gap, it's about providing equal opportunities for women to lead, innovate and create a secure future. One of the most important things I learnt during my ten-week COMM5501 studies was how to tell clear and impactful stories through data visualisation. This course has taught me that data is more than just a collection of numbers; it needs to be presented through appropriate visualisation methods in order to effectively communicate information and aid decision-making. I would give myself an 8/10 for my learning experience and growth during this journey. While I am proud of my progress, it is clear to me that I still have a long way to go in terms of data depth and mastering more advanced data analysis skills, which is exactly what I will be doing in the following semesters. I would also like to thank the whole COMM5501 team and my peers for helping me throughout the semester and providing constant feedback so that I could better refine the whole storytelling project. 👏 😊 Watch my video presentation for more details: https://lnkd.in/eyfT7H5k  #unswDataVisComm Poon Leung Yil Seung Aaron Jeong
