The Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity December True Rate of Unemployment report shows the gender gap for living-wage jobs is getting wider: the percentage of women in the workforce unable to find full-time, living-wage jobs jumped to 28%; for men, that same number decreased to 17.7%. This widening gender gap is truly concerning, as a sustainable economic recovery must treat all participants equally. More: www.lisep.org/tru #unemployment #genderpaygap #livingwage

Bridging the gender gaps in domestic and care work can help boost women's labour force participation—not only by reducing gender-driven poverty but also by creating new avenues of paid employment and entrepreneurship in the care sector. Investments in the care economy support the wellbeing of individuals, their families, their communities, and the #economy. Partnering with stakeholders for better policies, building the social and economic agency of the care workforce, and creating an enabling environment are the needs of the hour. Understanding the important role of the neglected workforce, especially women, Upfront is dedicated to collaborating, orchestrating, and facilitating solutions with stakeholders and communities to ensure that they are recognised, empowered, and supported.

Closing the gender health gap could add at least $1tn (£790bn) a year to the global economy by 2040, according to the first report to quantify the economic opportunities of investing in women’s wellbeing. Every $1 invested to improve women’s health could generate $3 for the economy as quality of life improves and women are able to actively participate in the workforce. https://bit.ly/3S5fIKo #WomeninResearch #MRX #MarketResearch
