N2 - Most social workers in Australia are women – nearly two-thirds according to the 1976 census. More men have been entering the welfare industry, but the distribution of men and women in welfare is different. Data mainly from the 1976 census, indicates a similar pattern to that reported overseas: within welfare there is ‘men's work’ and ‘women's work’, and women are under-represented in the higher career and salary ranges.
