6.2.6. MIGRATION HISTORY OF WOMEN ON EXECUTIVE BOARDS OF ITALIAN ORGANISATIONS
Almost half (49%) of women on executive boards of Italian organisations in SA were born in Australia, over a quarter (29%) arrived in Australia more than 36 years ago, 7% arrived 16-35 years ago, 10% arrived 6-15 years ago and 5% arrived in the past 5 years (Figure 12).

When analysing the migration history of women in the various roles of executive boards of Italian organisations in SA (Figure 13), it is of note that the majority of presidents were either born in Australia (4 out of 10) or migrated to Australia more than 36 years ago (4 out of 10). When comparing this to the overall number of women on executive boards, more presidents arrived in Australia more than 36 years ago (40%) compared with those across all executive board roles (29%) and fewer were born in Australia (40%) compared with those across all executive board roles (49%). The
interesting point here is that more

presidents, compared with the average across all roles, arrived in Australia more than 36 years ago, and fewer current presidents were born in Australia.
The data about women in the role of secretary showed a similar trend, with more arriving in Australia more than 36 years ago (47%, 8 out of 17) compared with those across all executive board roles (29%) and less being born in Australia (41%, 7 out of 17) compared with those across all executive board roles (49%).
Moreover, the data about women in the role of treasurer showed the opposite trend, indicating that the majority of women who were treasurers were born in Australia (67%, 8 out of 12) compared with 49% across all executive board roles.
