MLICCI Executive Director Carol Burnett recently served on a panel for an Institute of Women’s Policy Research symposium that focused on gender-equitable recovery. Burnett focused on the dire need to make child care more accessible to working women.
“This report provides a framework for shared prosperity and equitable economic recovery. It examines the impact of the economic crisis and recession on working women, their families, and communities. It provides a blueprint for a gender- equitable recovery that is not only about meeting the immediate economic needs of women and families, but lays out a long-term strategy for creating stronger systems and institutions that reflect the experiences and contributions of women in the workforce, in society, and to their families.” -IWPR
