- The Aspen Institute is hosting an It’s Women in the Economy, Stupid! webinar on Thursday, October 24th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Over the last 50 years, the value of women’s financial contributions to families and our national economy has increased exponentially. More women are working than ever before. Women are earning advanced degrees and starting businesses at higher rates than men. Yet even today, our nation’s economic systems are still not designed to work for women. In fact, policymakers and business leaders—predominantly men—rarely ask if women benefit from tax, labor, credit, monetary, or other areas of economic policy, and hence, women often don’t. The Future of Women in the Economy dialogue series, hosted by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, features in-depth discussions with journalists, authors, filmmakers, and other thought leaders about how to redesign the economy so women are able to strive, thrive, and fully contribute to their families’ financial security and the nation’s economic growth. To discuss the current state of women in the economy, first we need to know how we got here. To kick off The Future of Women in the Economy, two prominent writers—Josie Cox, author of the award-winning book WOMEN Money Power; and Chabeli Carrazana, economy reporter for The 19th News – explore historical perceptions of “women’s roles,” economic barriers past and present, and the many proven solutions that remain untapped due to lack of political will. This wide-ranging virtual conversation will help attendees better understand why building a gender-equitable economy is not a “women’s” or “social” issue, but an economic imperative.

- Brookings is hosting a webinar on Could a Right to Remote Work Stop Declining Birth Rates on Thursday, October 24th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The COVID-19 pandemic normalized working from home in the U.S., and the number of workers in remote and hybrid work arrangements remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels despite the end of the public health emergency. One benefit of remote work is that it allows parents to spend more time on childcare and housework—potentially reducing the barriers to starting a family. Although the decline in fertility rates is a complex and multifaceted problem, the recent trend in remote work raises questions around if and how flexible work arrangements could help fertility rates rebound. Specifically, could a right to request flexible work that is enshrined in law combat declining birth rates? On October 24th, the Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings will explore these questions with an expert panel featuring Rachel Arnow-Richman (University of Florida Levin College of Law), Phil Levine (Wellesley College), Thomas Roulet (University of Cambridge), and Lyman Stone (Institute for Family Studies), moderated by Loni Mahanta (aiEDU).
