Industry: Mining (277 employers). All employers: the 8,239 that reported to WGEA. Measures with too small a base are left out. For men's share of primary carer's leave, the industry and all-employer figures are the share across all their employers combined.

WGEA publishes this employer's gender pay gap in its Employer Data Explorer (search by ABN 65086426253). The pay gap is not in WGEA's public data file, so it is not repeated here.

Women in management counts WGEA's manager categories, from CEO to other managers, in Australia. Japan's equivalent figure counts section chief and above (課長相当職以上), so the two are close but not identical.
