Abstract
As most readers would be aware, second income earners in Australia are almost always the female partner, arising out of a social climate in which women predominantly assume the unpaid carer role and tend to occupy industries and job roles that pay less. These gender-differentiated effects mean that adjusting any element of EMTRs will tend to influence women's labour force participation more profoundly than men's - necessitating a gender-sensitive lens on policy design. My prediction is that this publication will help lay valuable foundations for the future stream of gender-lensing research that will be increasingly sought by contemporary policy practitioners who are attuned to the underlying drivers of gender inequities in societal and economic architecture.
