COMMENTARY     

Ian Graham
Staff Editor
28th March 2005 		For women, Australia may be one of the most progressive countries in the world, in terms of educational options and earning potential.

Australia is fourth in gender income ratio, with a rate of 0.69 percent, has one of the lowest differentials of male to female earnings (14 percent), and the second–highest expected duration of education for women (20.1 years).

In addition, Australia boasts practically universal female literacy, one of the longest school life expectancies for women, and the tenth-highest percentage of university degrees awarded to women, including the 12th-highest percentage of advanced research-degrees awarded to women.
