Together, we will spark bold ideas, share breakthroughs, and shape the future of gender equity.
Despite earning more college and graduate degrees than their male counterparts, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) reports that women still earn 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man.
According to data from IWPR, if the same pace towards pay equality continues, women will continue to be outearned by men until 2059. For women of color, that pace is even slower: Hispanic women will have to wait until 2248 to reach pay equality and Black women until 2124.
