Women
Australian Women had a very broad range of duties during WWll, new types of work were created becuase of the war and majority of men left the country to join the army.
The number of women entering the workforce between 1939 and 1945 only increased by 5 percent, the types of jobs changed dramatically.
At the start of WWll, women on the home front were encouraged to take the sorts of rolses they had during WWl
About 35000 women served in the army, making up around 5 percent of the entire force
Women were not sent overseas to fight but were trained in many of the home-front tasks so that more servicemen could be freed up to join the overseas forces.
By the end of the war, the WAAAF was made up of 18500 women

Australian Economy
Employment rates were now increasing after the Great Depression and now women were working as well. Key industries were expanding and new ones were being created just like in the First World War.
later, Australia would reach an era of continuous expansion with every sector growing. Large scale immigration, availability of raw materials, technological advances, and capital inflow all contributed to this.
By 1941, 25% of Australia's employment was in the manufacturing industry. The experience workers achieved from the war gave Australia a good foundation for the rebuilding years after the war.
They were constantly producing items to send over for the war. These would include munitions and aircrafts. Due to rationing being around as well, the demand for the items rose which meant that these industries would gather more profits.
Australia flourished from economic prosperity during World War II. There was a massive boom throughout all sectors. The manufacturing industry reaped the most benefits. This was due to the fact they were sufficiently developed and diversified enough to take on the demand.
