Quality of Work includes pay and employment equity and precarious employment issues. NACEW has, in the last few years, developed two key pieces of research in this area.

The Economic Rationales for Narrowing the Gender Pay Gap discusses the factors that contribute to the gender pay gap, and considers the gender equity issues that impact on business performance to provide a rationale for including a gender focus in the economic transformation and productivity arenas.
