Australia: Wage Differentials

Abstract

The wage structure in Australia is based on an awards system which represents the outcome of the conciliation and arbitration process. There are thousands of awards, both federal and state, most of which are based on occupation. Awards determine not only the basic wage but also working conditions. There are both parent awards and secondary awards. The number of parent awards is limited and secondary awards imitate the parent awards.1 Australian wage determination is, consequently, characterized as a very centralized system as compared with wage determination by collective bargaining in other nations, such as Japan, the USA and the UK.
