Women in casual or contract jobs are the most likely targets for sexual harassment in Australian workplaces, according to a new study. They are up to 10 times more likely to experience unwanted sexual advances than those in permanent full-time positions, research by the University of Melbourne has found. “Our study shows that 79 per cent of those who experience unwanted sexual advances at work are women,” Associate Professor Anthony LaMontagne said. He said people employed in casual jobs were about five times more likely to be subjected to unwanted sexual advances.
