What can you do to boost flexibility for women?

Businesses: Normalize equal care responsibilities and flexible working arrangements

Create jobs that work around people’s lives: prioritize flexible hours, remote options, and update leave policies to incentivize and acknowledge equal care responsibilities.

Families: Share the chores
Equality starts at home. If you eat, cook. If you wear it, wash it. If you live there, clean it. Care is everyone’s responsibility.

Analyzing the Gender pay gap in the United States.

Image
The gender gap in pay has slightly narrowed in the United States over the past 20 years or so. In 2024, women earned an average of 85% of what men earned, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers. In 2003, women earned 81% as much as men. As has long been the case, the wage gap is smaller for workers ages 25 to 34 than for all workers 16 and older. In 2024, women 25 to 34 earned an average of 95 cents for every dollar earned by a man in the same age group – a 5-cent gap. By comparison, the gender pay gap among workers of all ages that year was 15 cents. How we did this? While the gender pay gap has not changed a lot since 2003, it has narrowed considerably when looking at the longer term, both among all workers 16 and older and among those 25 to 34. The estimated 15-cent gender pay gap among all workers in 2024 was down from 35 cents in 1982. And the 5-cent gap among workers ages 25 to 34 in 2024 was down from a 26-cent ...

Progress by design: Tackling gender bias in AI.

Image
  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a massive opportunity for humanity, reshaping how we work, learn, and live at gargantuan speed. But AI doesn’t operate in a vacuum, it “learns” from the world we have built. If AI tools and systems are trained with biased data , stereotypes and views shaped by decades of inequality, these will influence the final product. Currently, only 28 per cent of people are aware of gender bias in AI . Once informed, over half said they were concerned, especially Gen Z and Millennials . And they’re right to be. AI systems have already failed repeatedly: facial recognition software has led to false arrests, AI hiring systems have favoured male applicants over women, and healthcare algorithms have misjudge clinical needs —especially for patients from minority groups—leading to missed care that could save lives. The problem isn’t just who uses AI; it’s who builds it. Women currently make up just 35 per cent of employees in US tech firms yet only 40 per cen...

10 Años de Lucha - Honoring 10 Years of the Latina Equal Pay Campaign | PVBLIC Foundation.

Image
October 8, 2025 is Latina Equal Pay Day, and this year is the 10th anniversary of the Latina Equal Pay campaign . For the last decade it has marked the day we call attention to the pay gap that Latinas face in the United States and across the world. For all Latinas with reported earnings , the pay gap is, on average 54 cents for every dollar made by white, non-Hispanic men in the United States. This number is much lower for immigrant Latinas. The pay gap for Latinas persists across borders, with factors such as gender-based violence and discrimination being central contributors to this lack of economic security.
