SUMMARY:Conversations on Equity: The Role of Cities in the Pursuit of Economic Equity
DESCRIPTION:Cities are critical hubs of economic activity and opportunity\, but their growth potential in the United States has been constrained by historical policies and practices\, such as redlining and urban renewal\, as well as contemporary challenges. Understanding these structural barriers can help communities unlock opportunities for equitable growth. \n\n\n\nThe next Conversations on Equity event from the St. Louis Fed’s Institute for Economic Equity will explore how American cities can foster or inhibit economic equity. For this discussion\, Institute Director William M. Rodgers III will be joined by economist Rick McGahey\, senior fellow at the Schwartz Center and the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy and author of the recently published book “Unequal Cities: Overcoming Anti-Urban Bias to Reduce Inequality in the United States.” The conversation will draw on findings from that work. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn about: \n\n\n\n\n\nThe unique role that cities play in our economy\n\n\n\nHow past and current barriers have led to disparities in economic growth and mobility within American cities and between cities and their suburbs\n\n\n\nPotential strategies for encouraging more equitable economic growth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nWilliam M. Rodgers IIIRick McGahey \n\n\n\nThis event\, which begins with a 4:30 p.m. reception prior to the discussion\, will be held in person at the St. Louis Fed. The first 50 guest to arrive will receive a copy of the book “Unequal Cities: Overcoming Anti-Urban Bias to Reduce Inequality in the United States.” \n\n\n\nParking accommodations are complimentary\, and the event is free to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, contact the St. Louis Fed’s Community Development staff at communitydevelopment@stls.frb.org. \n\n\n\nThe Conversations on Equity series features national thought leaders who are working to build awareness around obstacles to economic equity.

SUMMARY:Conversations on Equity: Women\, Workforce and the Wage Gap
DESCRIPTION:The last 75 years ushered in a convergence in the labor force participation of men and women. In 1948\, only 33% of women participated in the labor force\, compared with 87% of men. Fast-forward to 2022\, when 57% of women and 69% of men participated in the labor force. Despite this convergence\, pay gaps and other structural barriers still prevent women from benefitting from their labor more fully. The next event in the St. Louis Fed’s Conversations on Equity series will explore barriers to participation and more equitable wages that women face in the labor market. This in-person event is free to attend but registration is required by August 16\, 2023. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nThis event will feature a discussion with William M. Rodgers III\, Director of the St. Louis Fed’s Institute for Economic Equity\, and Heidi Hartmann\, a distinguished economist in residence at the Program on Gender Analysis in Economics at American University and the founding president of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam M.

SUMMARY:Conversations on Equity: Higher Education’s Role in Pursuing Economic Equity
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Economic Equity’s next Conversations on Equity event will examine higher education’s role in achieving economic equity and feature discussion led by two Eighth Federal Reserve District university presidents and Institute Director Dr. William M. Rodgers III.  \n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jerryl Briggs Sr.\, President\, Mississippi Valley State University\n\n\n\nDr. Fred Pestello\, President\, Saint Louis University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists will share their reflections on how the higher education system serves as an important pathway for economic equity. They will also share challenges that it faces: an increasingly diverse student body with varied needs (especially for degree completion)\, affordability\, and the need to cultivate personal and financial success among students following their education. \n\n\n\nThe institutions that the panelists represent highlight the diversity in today’s higher education system. For instance\, enrollment at the two universities ranges from just over 2\,400 students to close to 13\,000 students and the portion of their student bodies that received Pell grants-financial aid intended for low-income students-ranges from 20% to 80%.  \n\n\n\nFor more information\, contact the St. Louis Fed’s Community Development staff at communitydevelopment@stls.frb.org.The Conversations on Equity series features national thought leaders who are working to build awareness of obstacles to economic equity. Guests share their views on a range of integral topics and discuss evidence-based solutions aimed at dismantling such obstacles. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By
