This special election-year 90-minute webinar, offered as part of the Center for Partnership Studies’ Leadership Series, offers an opportunity for an in-depth dialogue with CPS’ Dr. Riane Eisler and the Caring Economy Campaign’s gender and public policy expert Valerie Young.
On September 16, 2016 Riane Eisler and Valerie Young will be addressing issues that threaten our national security and economic stability. How can our current policies be changed to provide both the prosperity and care needed to meet the challenges ahead? What tools do we have to craft a solid infrastructure of care that will meet irreducible human needs across the lifespan, promote economic equality, and further social justice? There are certainly rough times ahead. But action we take now could make a big difference.
Millions of Americans are caring for children, their aging parents, or other family members. In spite of the historic changes in family structure and the booming population of elder Americans, the US invests far less than other developed nations in supporting this essential work performed in families. Not only that, the fastest growing job sector of direct care workers and home health aides pays only near-poverty wages. Will this election mark a change in direction?
Join Riane Eisler and Valerie Young for a discussion of care and electoral politics, what we can do, and where we can go with better measures, clearer thinking and a commitment to effective caring policies.
