SUMMARY:Evictions and the Rental Market\, Now and after the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has had outsized impact on the rental market. Renters who have lost work have faced serious risk of eviction but have also been buoyed by a patchwork of programs and policies. Some of the burden of supporting tenants has fallen to landlords\, who suffer cashflow constraints when tenants are unable to pay their rent. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the CDC moratorium on evictions has ended\, we look to researchers and practitioners to understand what has happened and what comes next for tenants\, landlords\, and the rental market. What are the risks that remain? Are current policies managing them effectively? What lessons can we carry forward to ensure rental housing needs are met? \n\n\n\nJoin us for what promises to be an engaging and interactive conversation during our FedTalk on October 7.

SUMMARY:Enduring a Global Pandemic: The Stats and the Story Behind Small Businesses' Journey through COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the pandemic\, important conversations about the challenges\, support\, and recovery of small businesses have been ongoing.

SUMMARY:Racism and the Economy: Focus on the Wealth Divide
DESCRIPTION:The ninth installment of our virtual event series focuses on how racialized barriers to wealth accumulation deny families and communities long-term economic mobility and financial resiliency. Wealth is usually defined as the value of one’s assets minus debt\, and it serves as a critical component of economic opportunity in the United States. Opening speakers will examine past and present structures and institutions that contribute to persistent wealth disparities. A panel of practitioners\, scholars\, and community leaders will propose and discuss bold strategies to finally reverse these trends. The Federal Reserve has long studied wealth disparities because equal access to wealth is so important to achieving full employment and an inclusive economy. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nMehrsa Baradaran\, Professor of Law\, University of California\, Irvine\, School of LawRaphael Bostic\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of AtlantaJames Bullard\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisCharles Evans\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of ChicagoMatthew Fletcher\, Foundation Professor of Law and Director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center\, Michigan State UniversityNeel Kashkari\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of MinneapolisNoel Poyo\, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development\, U.S. Department of the TreasuryEric Rosengren\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston\n\n\n\n\nMore speakers to be added. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by all 12 District Banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve System\, Racism and the Economy is a virtual series that brings together community\, business\, and academic leaders to examine the economic impact of racism and advance bold ideas and concrete actions to achieve an economy that makes opportunity available to everyone.

SUMMARY:Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Understanding and Empowering Women's Economic Participation
DESCRIPTION:Join us October 21 for a research seminar that will explore issues related to women’s economic declines during the pandemic and the ability of women to participate equally in existing markets\, post-recession. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar details\n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and its economic ramification has disproportionally impacted women. This so-called “she-cession” is throwing away decades of hard-won battles both in terms of gender equality and women’s economic gains. Women\, particularly women of color\, are more likely to work in the sectors hit hardest by economic closures\, including healthcare\, retail\, and the informal economy. Women are more impacted by the burdens of caregiving—including caring for children and elderly parents who are now at home rather than at school or living on their own. Additionally\, women entrepreneurs are also often less likely than men to have access to the loans and other financial services that help businesses weather a downturn.   \n\n\n\nEven before the pandemic\, the World Economic Forum estimated that it would take 250 years to close the economic gender gap. How can we ensure economic recovery efforts include and support women? More broadly\, how do we create a more equitable economic environment that offers the tools\, resources and opportunities women need to thrive?  \n\n\n\nThis seminar will examine these important questions related to women’s economic declines during the pandemic and their ability to participate equally in the post-recession labor market. The first panel will provide a framing of the issue\, including what makes the she-cession so different from previous recessions. The second will explore ideas on how to rebuild a more inclusive economy for working women.   \n\n\n\nThis seminar is part of a Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series focused on supporting an inclusive recovery. Get to know the speakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00-11:05 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Panel 1 opening remarks\n\n\n\nMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\nAlfreda Norman\, Senior Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:05-11:55 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1: How the “she-cession” came to be\n\n\n\nMatthias Doepke\, Northwestern University  \n\n\n\nMichelle Holder\, Washington Center for Equitable Growth; John Jay College  \n\n\n\nBetsey Stevenson\, University of Michigan  \n\n\n\nModerator: C.
