March 18 Forum – Gender Pay Inequity and Paid Family Leave: A Conversation with Senator Deb Fischer
As work and family issues command more attention on the campaign trail, pending legislation aims to bolster paid family leave and improve access to child care. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) will host an event with Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE), whose Strong Families Act would incentivize employers to provide paid parental or medical leave. Other speakers include Heather Boushey, executive director at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth; Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum; and Isabell Sawhill, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. The event will be held at AEI in Washington, D.C., from 9 – 11 a.m. EST. Click here to register.
