NCRW Background Paper: Project on the Economic Recovery Act
In the midst of the current economic crisis—which is exacerbating previously existing disparities and inequalities in the United States—the Recovery Act offers an opportune moment to raise up public investment for all Americans and make inroads on gender equality. Building on the Council’s commitment to policies and programs that advance women’s economic well-being, this project aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of the Act on women and their families. Additionally, the project would examine the inequities in the Recovery Act’s allocation of resources and ways to address the resulting disparities.
