A newly published survey has revealed a concerning trend of widespread underpayment among young workers in Australia. Nearly one in three respondents—about 33 per cent—reported earning $15 an hour or less. The findings come from the final report of the Fair Day’s Work Project, titled 'Underpaid and Overlooked: The Wage Crisis Facing Young Workers in Australia', which surveyed 2,814 workers under the age of 30. In this podcast, we discuss its key findings and recommendations.
