Australia stands out as the only country where a small part-time wage premium is found for female workers. While the wages of temporary workers increase with age and skill level, they grow more slowly than those of standard workers. As a result, the wage differences between temporary and standard workers tend to widen with age or skill. This implies that years of labour market experience may not be valued in the same way for temporary workers as for standard workers. Having a higher education level does not eliminate the wage disadvantage faced by temporary workers. In most countries, those with a university degree are still at a considerable wage disadvantage compared with peers in standard work.
