Brookings Institution – The 51%: Driving growth through women’s economic participation
Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach and Ryan Nunn, Brookings Institution, October 2017
Brookings reports that “the U.S. economy will not operate at its full potential unless government and employers remove impediments to full participation by women in the labor market. The failure to address structural problems in labor markets, tax, and employment policy that women face does more than hold back their careers and aspirations for a better life. In fact, barriers to participation by women also act as brakes on the national economy, stifling the economy’s ability to grow.”
