Building the Future:
Bold Policies for a
Gender-Equitable Recovery
|
This report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research provides a framework for shared prosperity and equitable economic recovery. “It examines the impact of the economic crisis and recession on working women, their families, and communities. It provides a blueprint for a gender-equitable recovery that is not only about meeting the immediate economic needs of women and families, but lays out a long-term strategy for creating stronger systems and institutions that reflect the experiences and contributions of women in the workforce, in society, and to their families.” -IWPR.
