Investigating the reality -- what women did and were paid Look at the range of jobs and rates of pay (see tables lower on this page). 1. What Air Force type jobs or occupations are women not doing? 2. Compare the jobs actually being done with the image in the advertisements. Do you think the advertisements are fair? 3. Compare the rates of pay for women with equivalent males in the RAAF. Describe the difference. Why do you think this difference existed? 4. A common advertisement of the day called on women to join the services to do 'a real job - a man's job'. Do you think women in the services did men's jobs? |
