This review is from: Squaring Up: Policy Strategies to Raise Women's Incomes in the United States (Paperback)
This is an excellent collection of chapters by experts who are clear, articulate and accessible to a general audience. The focus is on policy strategies to raise women's incomes, which still only average 55% of men's in this country.The policies discussed are * implementing real welfare reform * paying people for parenting * increasing public subsidies for childcare * reforming social security to benefit older women * increasing the minimum wage * re-focusing the movement for pay equity * organizing more women in unions * strengthening affirmative action * opening the trades to women, and * encouraging women and girls to enter math-based occupations. Strong introductory and concluding chapters make the case for the need to raise women's incomes, and point out the potential of a broadly-based, multi-pronged political effort to do just that. |
