December 4th, 2024 | 11:30AM-1:30 PM | 665 Commonwealth Ave

Join us for a conversation with Nobel-Prize winning economist Claudia Goldin. During this discussion, we aim to explore: What accounts for these remaining gaps in earnings, now that so many of the determinants of earnings such as experience or education levels, are the same for men and women?

The Conference will include:

  • A fireside chat with Claudia Goldin and Cathy Minehan

  • Overview of the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act

  • Lunch and networking

DO THE MATH

Employer Wage Gap Calculator

The Boston Women’s Workforce Council, in partnership with the Boston Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement, launched the Employer Wage Gap Calculator, a completely confidential online resource that enables employers to calculate their own wage gaps within seconds of inputting their data.

Please visit the Wage Gap Calculator today and feel free to share this tool with others both within and outside of your organization. Doing the math gives us the information we need to eliminate gender and racial wage gaps.
