For a long time, we've been big promoters of advancing more women in manufacturing. We have a massive skills shortage, as I mentioned, and one of the problems we have is self-identification. We don't have enough women in the workforce. Only around a quarter of the workforce is women. That's a huge problem.
We actually have a challenge out there to increase the number of women in the manufacturing environment by 100,000. Our members, manufacturers across the country, provide great supports, on-site child care, for example, at some places.
Working with this government and the Minister for Women and Gender Equality, we've launched a program to try to attract more young women and girls into STEM careers, for example. That's where it starts. We are not going to change it over night, but we need get more women and young girls into education programs that are directed more at STEM. A lot of those engineering jobs, accounting jobs and the lawyers that manufacturers hire are reliant on STEM skills, and there are just enough women going into those fields. We need to fix the intake of them to be able to fix the long-term problem we have with not enough women in the sector.
