High-Level Workshop: Improving Opportunities for Women in the United States

 

Please join the OECD Secretary-General on Friday, 17 June, 2016, along with other high-level policy makers, researchers and private sector leaders in a candid discussion on how to improve opportunities for women in the United States. 

This conversation will take place following the White House Summit on the United State of Women and will take into account the findings of the OECD’s Economic Survey of the United States (released on June 16, 2016), which explores this issue in the greater context of the US economy.

 

Women's economic opportunities have greatly improved in the United States over past decades; however, numerous challenges remain to further reduce gender inequalities. Further progress will require reforms such as paid parental leave and childcare support to provide increased flexibility of working arrangements, introduce changes in job structure and remuneration, and increase access to quality pre-school and childcare.

 

Speakers:

Daniel Yohannes, U.S. Ambassador to the OECD
Monika Queisser, OECD
Sandra Black, U.S. Council of Economic Advisers
Heather Boushey, Washington Center for Equitable Growth
Keith Castaldo, Office of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Carrie Cihak, King County, Washington State
Ronnie Goldberg, U.S. Council for International Business
Reggie Walker, PwC

1776 Eye Street NW, Suite 450
