Abstract
This chapter discusses the general labour market outcomes for creative graduates in Australia and the UK, comparing the circumstances of women with men. It compares rates of full-time and part-time employment, return to study, and volunteering or unpaid work, as well as access to creative and graduate-level jobs. It compares changes across the 3 years covered by the graduate destination surveys in both countries and finds that, despite improvements, gender disparities in access to creative and graduate work, especially full-time, are persistent. It discusses the very poor outcomes in the general Australian graduate labour market, and suggests that these impacted the outcomes for creatives, especially women, whose rates of underemployment were very high. It finds that while rates of creative work in Australia and the UK were comparable at 3–3.5 years after graduation, Australian creative jobs were much more likely to be part-time.KeywordsCreative graduatesGenderGraduate employment outcomesUnderemploymentSkills utilization
