Draft Notes
I'm Robert Brockway, and this is Red Pill Reveal, in which I talk about the world from a red pill perspective. Today I'll be talking about a false claim that has been put forward by the Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency, a department of the federal government in Australia. In August 2019 KPMG released a report claiming that 39% of the so-called gender pay gap in Australia is a result of gender discrimination. This was widely repeated in the media, including by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Guardian and Business Insider Australia.
KPMG's report was commissioned by the Diversity Council Australia Ltd (DCA), and the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). The report was released in full and summary versions. I'll be referencing the full version here.
The DCA describes itself as the independent not-for-profit peak body leading diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The WGEA is a federal Australian government statutory agency that according to it own website is charged with promoting and improving gender equality in Australian workplaces. The WGEA has featured in a previous article in which I showed that the WGEA clearly admits that the often-quoted national gender pay gap does not compare like-for-like roles.
Under the section Drivers of the gender pay gap, the KPMG report describes a series of factors contributing to the so-called gender pay gap with their percentage contribution and shows that the total of all of the factors sums to 100%. This means that the report is claiming that gender wage differences in Australia can be entirely quantified with factors presented in the report. Notably the expansive CONSAD Report commissioned by the US Department of Labor in 2009 did not make such a claim.
The factors listed in the report are:
- Gender discrimination
- Years not working due to interruptions
- Occupational segregation
- Industrial segregation
- Part-time employment
- Unpaid care and work (proxied by hours per week on housework)
- Age (years)
- Tenure with current employer
- Working in Government or NGO
This very section is where the report claims that gender discrimination accounts for 39% of the total. It also goes on to state that the proportion that is a result of gender discrimination has actually risen from 29% at the time of the last report in 2014.
What is really interesting is how the report defines gender discrimination. The report released by KPMG and commissioned by the DCA and the WGEA defines gender discrimination on p25:
Gender discrimination can be understood as the element of the gender pay gap that would remain if men and women had the same levels of the other factors.
The same statement with slightly different wording is repeated on p34.
The other factors referred to here are the other factors listed in the report and stated above.
The full report goes on to note on p26:
Interpreting the unexplained component of wage decompositions as gender discrimination is an accepted approach in the literature. 65 The unexplained component also includes other variations between men and women that may not be controlled for in the model, any omitted variables and measurement error in the variables used in the model. 66
Thus, the report released by KPMG and commissioned by the DCA and the WGEA states clearly that the unexplained differences in men’s and women’s wages are simply assigned to the category of gender discrimination, producing the claim that 39% of the so-called gender pay gap in Australia is a result of discrimination. A statement that was then widely reported in the media as if it was fact.
Despite a disclaimer that states that the report is solely the opinion of the authors, both the DCA and the WGEA have openly endorsed this report by publishing key findings from the report on their websites.
