Join us for IWPR’s 2026 Power+ Summit, The Power Grid: Driving Gender Equity Forward, taking place September 28–29 in Detroit, MI.
Together, we will spark bold ideas, share breakthroughs, and shape the future of gender equity.
In the months since the official
end of the recession in November 2001, women’s employment has returned to pre-recession
levels, but the lack of job growth in this period means millions of jobs for women are missing. At
the same time, the long-term increase in women’s labor force participation has stalled, and the
gender wage gap has increased.
