SUMMARY:Webinar: The Gender Wage Gap and Occupational Segregation: Tackling the Undervaluation of Human Services and Care Work
DESCRIPTION:Click here for a recording of the webinar.\nClick here for the webinar slide presentation.\nOccupational segregation\, and especially the undervaluation of care work\, is a major contributor to gender and racial wage gaps. Sixty years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963\, women\, and particularly women of color\, are still far from pay equity. Unlike in most other countries\, the Equal Pay Act only protects workers doing the same work\, but not workers who do different work of equal or comparable value. This webinar discussed comparable value as a strategy for highlighting and tackling the underpayment of care work through research\, policy development\, sector bargaining\, and advocacy. Highlighted were two new studies about the underpayment of non-profit human services workers\, and an example of how sector bargaining was used to get higher pay for care workers. \nSpeakers: \nJames Parrott\, Center for New York City Affairs at the New School \nJennie Romich\, West Coast Poverty Center and School of Social Work\, University of Washington \nMeg Smith\, School of Business\, Western Sydney University\, Australia \nDeborah J. Vagins\, National Campaign Director & Director of Equal Pay Today (welcome) \nAriane Hegewisch\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research (moderator)

SUMMARY:STATE POLICY SOLUTIONS FOR STUDENT PARENT SUCCESS WEBINAR AND VIRTUAL CONVERSATION
DESCRIPTION:STATE POLICY SOLUTIONS FOR STUDENT PARENT SUCCESS\nWEBINAR AND VIRTUAL CONVERSATION\nHosted by IWPR and Ascend at the Aspen Institute\n4/26 from 1:30-3pm ET \nListen to a recording of the webinar here. \nClick here to view State Policy SPSI Webinar Slide Presentation \nListen to IWPR and Ascend at the Aspen Institute as we discuss what states can and have done to support postsecondary student parent success – what policy tools are out there\, how states have addressed student parent needs in different ways\, what challenges exist in this field\, and more. This conversation will also include a panel of government officials from states that have enacted policy solutions that support and invest in the success of student parents. \nEarning a college degree is critical to unlocking many high-paying jobs – and\, as a result\, to economic mobility and intergenerational family prosperity and well-being. Increasingly\, college students today are far from the traditional “norm.” 1 in 5 students enrolled in college are parents. Despite growing recognition of the economic and social benefits of pursuing a postsecondary degree\, it has been largely left to institutions of higher education to meet the needs of student parents. Listen to the recording to learn more about policy innovations in support of student parent success\, such as Ascend’s Policy Acceleration Partnerships\, and future research in this space crafted by IWPR. \nSpeakers \n\nNina Besser Doorley\, Vice President of Policy and Strategic Initiatives\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\nDavid Croom\, Associate Director\, Postsecondary Success for Parents\, Ascend at the Aspen Institute\nMiriam Cullimore\, Student Parent & Whole Family Coordinator\, Minnesota Office of Higher Education\nAmi Magisos\, Associate Director\, Policy and Planning\, Washington Student Achievement Council\nElisabetta Kasfir\, Deputy Commissioner for Federal Programs\, Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning\nBentley Ponder\, Deputy Commissioner for Quality Innovations & Partnerships\, Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning\nModerator: Mark Huelsman\, Director of Policy and Advocacy\, Hope Center for College\, Community and Justice at Temple University

SUMMARY:Women in Sports: The Long Road to Equity
DESCRIPTION:Register\n  \nSince the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900\, where 22 women out of 997 athletes participated in 5 sports\, the involvement of women in sports has gradually increased.

Of the 43 honorary members\, only 2 are women. The portraying of female athletes in media also needs to be much improved\, both qualitatively and quantitively.  \nPlease join us on October 6\, 2022 in Boulder\, CO at the Institute for Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado or online to discuss with amazing speakers women in sports. (9.30 am-12.30 pm MT; 11.30 am-2.30 pm EST; 19.30-22.30 EST). Please register to participate in person\, to access online\, watch the webinar recording\, as well as to receive the updated program.  \nSpeakers: \nSara Lewis (Olympian athlete & former FIS Secretary General) \nMarina Dmukhovskaya (Sports Media Director\, CU) \nDarlene Nolting (R/C Regional Development Director) \nMikaela Tommy (former Buff & World Cup skier) \nEkaterina Kuznetsova (Sports Journalist & OIC Producer)  \nand more to be announced.  \nModerator: Federiga Bindi\, IBS & IWPR \n\nWomen in Sports is part of “The State of Women” international research network\, financed by the European Commission’s ERASMUS+ program.

SUMMARY:Is a European or an American college degree worthier?
DESCRIPTION:Register\n  \n  \n4:30 pm CEST | 10:30 am EST \nIt used to be that an American education was the best one could aspire to. Is that still the case? COVID\, wars\, guns\, Brexit\, Presidents are all factors influencing international education\, creating new challenges but also new opportunities. They also make exponentially more difficult for families and prospective students to choose. What do European and American universities have to offer that is unique to them? This webinar will honestly weigh in advantages and disadvantages of both choices. \nModerator: prof.

SUMMARY:Women in Religion
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n  \n  \n9:30 AM – 12:30 PM CEST  \nRome\, Italy \nThe stained glass-ceiling in religious organization is proving hard to crack. A Pew Research Center’s study on Christians\, Muslims\, Buddhists\, Hindus\, Jews\, and the religiously unaffiliated shows that globally\, women are more devout than men by several standard measures of religious commitment. Yet\, they are still underrepresented in leadership roles. \nHistory’s most influential religious leaders – among them Abraham\, Moses\, Jesus\, Muhammad\, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) – tend to be predominantly\, if not exclusively\, male and many religious groups\, including Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews\, allow only men to be clergy. Yet\, there are important signs of change. \nReligious systems of meaning and belief have so powerfully shaped cultural patterns defining the social status and roles of women. Anyone hoping to understand women’s lives needs to attend to the extent to which religion has not only reflected basic cultural assumptions about gender but has in turn helped shape\, reinforce\, and alter those assumptions. As feminist theologians have pointed out from the start\, the study of women’s religious experience gives us access to women’s interpretations of reality. Finally\, and religious institutions historically have been a major sphere of women’s activities\, second perhaps only to the domestic sphere itself. \nThe conference is organized by the State of Women European Research Network and will feature both scholars and practitioners bringing their contribution to the discussion. \nCarlo Corazza\, Director\, European Parliament in Rome \nBrigid Curtin Frein\, Associate Professor of Theology/Religious Studies\, The University of Scranton \nChiara Lucifero\, communication expert and Founding Director\, Santa Croce Institute \nFederiga Bindi\, Jean Monnet Chair\, University of Rome Tor Vergata & Director\, Foreign Policy Initiative\, IWPR \nGretchen Van Dyke\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, The University of Scranton \nLivia Ottolengi\, University of Rome Sapienza and Counselor\, UCEI livia.ottolenghi@gmail.com \nMalina Voicu\, Professor\, Romanian Academy of Science \nMaria Angelillo Del Carmelo\, Professor of Southern and Western Asian Cultures\, University of Milan \nRabba Mira Raz\, Progressive Movement of Judaism\, Tel Aviv \nSilvia Costa\, former member of the European Parliament

SUMMARY:Power+  Summit
DESCRIPTION:This is an unprecedented moment in the nation’s history—one that will define us for generations to come. The coming together of a global pandemic and economic crisis has revealed the fragility of our economy and health care system and the burden carried by women in society where both racism and sexism are deeply entrenched and embedded in most\, if not all our institutions\, systems\, and structures. \n\nIt will take over 135 years to close the gender gap globally.\nIn the United States\, the gender pay gap has closed only by 8 cents over the last few decades.\nWomen make up just over a quarter of all members of Congress\, a percentage far below their share of the U.S. population.\nJust about 6 percent of S&P 500 CEOs are women.\nWomen lose up to $1 million in earnings over a lifetime to workplace sexual harassment and discrimination.\nOnly 2.3 percent of venture funding went to women-led startups in 2020.\nAbout 12 percent of venture capital firms and angel groups in the U.S. had women in decision-making roles\, as of August 2019.\n\nIt’s time to accelerate change and move the needle on women’s progress and equality in the U.S. and globally. Join IWPR and its partners at the 2022 Power+ Summit to help Make Equal Happen.

Paying special attention to policies that would particularly benefit young mothers who are historically disadvantaged\, we will explore what an equitable recovery looks like and how to build an economy that works for all. \nPanelists: \n\nNicole Lynn Lewis\, Founder & CEO\, Generation Hope\nMichelle McGrain\, Director of Congressional Relations for Economic Justice\, National Partnership for Women & Families\nJessica Milli\, Founder & Principle\, Research 2 Impact\nAisha Wells\, EPST/Paid Leave Organizer\, Mothering Justice\n\nModerators: Shengwei Sun and Jeff Hayes\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research \nWebinar Recording\n

SUMMARY:A Future Worth Building: What Tradeswomen Say about the Change They Need in the Construction Industry
DESCRIPTION:Event Recap \n \nMore women than ever work in the trades\, including women apprentices from all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Yet\, while numbers are growing\, women still are fewer than one in twenty of construction workers. \nPlease join us for a webinar to mark the release of IWPR’s new report on what helps and hinders women’s success in the trades. The report is based on the IWPR 2021 Tradeswomen’s Retention and Advancement Survey\, which was answered by over 2\,600 tradeswomen\, including close to 600 apprentices. Participants will hear directly from tradeswomen about the role of the broader tradeswomen community and women-focused training programs in supporting the next generation of women working in the trades. Federal and state program administrators will also join to discuss policies that help create respectful\, discrimination-free workplaces and ensure that women get fair access to publicly funded construction jobs. \nSpeakers:\n• Bryce Covert\, Independent Journalist and contributing writer at The Nation (Moderator)\n• Janelle DeJan\, IBEW 130\, NOTEP Electrical Instructor; Founder of NOLA Skilled Women in the Trades and Manufacturing\n• Ariane Hegewisch\, Senior Research Fellow\, Institute for Women’s Policy Research\n• Michele Hodge\, Deputy Director\, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs\n• Denise Johnson\, Director of Justice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, ANEW Seattle\, Rise Up program\n• Hieu Nguyen\, North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters\, Co-Chair of the Boston Sisters in the Brotherhood\n• Sebrina Owens-Wilson\, Regional Impact Program Manager\, Portland\, OR Metro\n• Thia Tomasich\, Fourth Year Apprentice\, Ironworkers Local 10 (Kansas City)

SUMMARY:Black Women's Equal Pay: Waiting Another Century is Not an Option
DESCRIPTION:\nClick Here to Download the PDF Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and related recession has both highlighted the persistent racial and gendered economic inequalities that Black women face in the labor market and exacerbated them. Black women were over-represented in many low-paying jobs recognized as “essential” during the pandemic\, but dismissed as “low-skilled” before. Despite this recognition\, these jobs continue to be undervalued with low wages and few benefits\, and if pay trends continue\, it will take Black women more than another hundred years—until 2133—to reach pay equity with White men. \nJoin the Institute for Women’s Policy Research and Equal Pay Today for a discussion of recent research on the pay gap for Black women\, the causes and consequences of racial and gender pay disparities\, and policy strategies for pay equity. Waiting another century is not an option. \nRegister for the webinar: bit.ly/BWEPD2021 \nSpeakers Include: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChandra Childers\, Ph.D.\, Study Director at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPamelya Herndon\, NM State Representative\, President/CEO of KWH Law Center for Social Justice & Change \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosie Kalipeni\,Deputy Director of Family Values at Work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRochelle Ramsey-Walker\,Field Organizer at the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCassandra Welchlin\, Co-Founder and Director of Mississippi Women’s Economic Security Initiative \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShannon Williams\,Director of Equal Pay Today\, a project of Equal Rights Advocates \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
