This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
The gender wealth gap goes far beyond wage inequality and is a much more comprehensive framework for understanding a women’s financial security over her lifetime. Wealth, the value of assets minus debts, enables women to be economically empowered. While building wealth can be a lifelong process, women, especially women of color, generally have fewer opportunities than men to accumulate wealth.
Our panel will discuss the gender and racial wealth gap and community solutions to move towards economic empowerment for women, girls, and families. The conversation will center around findings from the recently commissioned report by The Institute for Women’s Policy Research “Assets for Equity: Building Wealth for Women in Central Ohio”, the first to look at the gender and racial wealth gap at a local level in Ohio.
