SUMMARY:Racial Disparities in Today’s Economy
DESCRIPTION:Art by Meghan Smith/Federal Reserve Bank of Boston \n\n\n\n\nRegister: October 4\n\n\n\nRegister: October 5\n\n\n\nRegister: October 6\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPersistent racial disparities in economic outcomes for workers and households—particularly in unemployment rates by race—are directly relevant to the central mission of the Federal Reserve. Substantial disparities in other areas either upstream or downstream from the labor market also are of great concern to the Fed. These include racial disparities in elementary and secondary education performance\, rates of college completion and homeownership\, wealth accumulation\, and experience with the criminal justice system. This conference will introduce scholarly studies from recognized experts in their respective areas of research. These studies will summarize the current state of economic knowledge about racial disparities\, introduce new insight that enhances our understanding of the role that racial discrimination continues to play\, and present commentary on existing policies and proposed policies intended to address these disparities. \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Economic Research Conference Series fosters discussion and critical engagement among academics\, central bankers\, policymakers\, and other experts on important economic policy topics. \n\n\n\nVisit the agenda for session topics and the conference schedule. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the conference speakers. \n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Racism and the Economy: Focus on Health
DESCRIPTION:People without good health or health care often struggle to fully participate in the economy. The eighth installment of our virtual event series examines how systemic racism impacts health and\, ultimately\, economic outcomes.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial determinants of health like economic stability and housing affect the kinds of jobs people can access. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, low-income people of color disproportionately worked in more risky\, high-contact jobs\, and this led to higher infection and mortality rates. Racial and ethnic health disparities can also be barriers to employment. We explore the intersection of health\, racism\, and the economy because it’s so critical to the Federal Reserve’s work to promote a strong economy and maximum employment. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nStacy Bohlen\, Chief Executive Officer\, National Indian Health BoardAbdul El-Sayed\, Physician\, Epidemiologist\, Author\, Podcast Host\, and Senior Fellow\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Fintech\, Racial Equity\, and an Inclusive Financial System
DESCRIPTION:Join on August 25 for a virtual event to launch a new issue of Community Development Innovation Review that explores the promises and pitfalls of fintech as a means of expanding financial inclusion and reaching underserved communities of color. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInnovations in financial technology\, or fintech\, are changing the ways people interact with the financial system. With these changes comes the possibility of improving inclusion for those who currently lack access to the traditional financial system\, including low-income communities and communities of color. But with new ways of doing business come new risks of perpetuating existing inequities or creating new ones.  \n\n\n\nThe program features Mary C. Daly\, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco\, in conversation with Ida Rademacher\, executive director of the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program. Experts from across the community development and fintech spaces will discuss the risks and opportunities of financial technology innovation. \n\n\n\nThis program is designed to educate and inspire nonprofits\, banks\, fintechs\, CDFIs\, state and local government\, and business leaders. Register today to learn about strategies that advance financial inclusion for low-income communities and communities of color. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Mary C. Daly \n\n\n\nPresident & CEOFederal Reserve Bank of San Francisco \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIda Rademacher \n\n\n\nVice President & Executive DirectorAspen Institute Financial Security Program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarla Blow \n\n\n\nPresident and CEOSkoll Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulieta Cuéllar \n\n\n\nPolicy Research and Communications ManagerPropel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelly Cochran \n\n\n\nDeputy DirectorFinRegLab \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKabir Kumar \n\n\n\nDirectorFlourish Ventures \n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the event registration page for speaker profiles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Connecting Communities: Innovative Models to Create a More Equitable Lending Landscape for Underserved Entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic exposed deep structural inequities in America’s financial system. When COVID-19 hit the US\, it became clear that millions of Americans and small businesses were disconnected from our banking system. This session will cover the kinds of partnerships and innovative programs that were created to help fill the capital void for the small businesses that are struggling the most.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\nThe public and private sectors collaborated in a number of states to set up funds to provide responsible and affordable credit to these small businesses. The California Rebuilding Fund and the Southern Opportunity and Resilience (SOAR) Fund are key examples of these partnerships. Both programs saw community groups\, community development financial institutions\, and private and philanthropic capital (and in California’s case\, the state government) come together to provide low-interest loans to businesses. \n\n\n\nA number of new models have arisen that may continue to be used long-term to provide small-business owners—particularly those that are underserved by traditional financial institutions—with capital to survive and grow. This panel brings together thought leaders within these sectors to discuss these new partnerships and models\, as well as methods of creating opportunities for a more equitable lending landscape. Speakers will also inform the ways federally-funded and state-led capital access efforts can help scale these innovative programs to help them thrive long-term. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nBeth Bafford\, vice president of syndications and strategy\, Calvert Impact CapitalTahreem Kampton\, corporate treasurer and chief investment officer\, MicrosoftRocio Sanchez-Moyano\, senior researcher\, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (facilitator)Luz Urrutia\, CEO\, Accion Opportunity FundMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, director of special projects and strategic support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (moderator)

SUMMARY:Fed@YourDesk: The Economic Gains from Equity
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, gender and race remain largely unexplained predictors of labor market outcomes in the economy. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on women and communities of color will likely increase associated disparities.

SUMMARY:Addressing the Long-Term Unemployment Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity and AARP invite you to join us on Wednesday\, August 4\, at 2 p.m. (ET) for a virtual event\, Addressing the Long-Term Unemployment Crisis. This conversation will focus on the current long-term unemployment crisis and what innovative solutions are available to support the long-term unemployed. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in millions of new long-term unemployed individuals. As the country continues to reopen\, many long-term unemployed workers may return to the workforce\, but individuals will be reentering a job market that looks different from a year and a half ago. Businesses large and small embraced technology and automation in new ways\, accelerating trends that existed before COVID-19. These individuals will need training\, guidance\, and support to reenter the workforce successfully. \n\n\n\nPrevious economic crises have shown that the long-term unemployed have historically found it more challenging to find reemployment. Ongoing high levels of long-term unemployment can lead to more discouraged job seekers dropping out of the labor force. When long-term unemployment is widespread\, as it is now\, especially among job seekers ages 55 and older\, the effects on the labor force can be long-lasting and influence economic recovery more broadly. \n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nFederal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity \n\n\n\nAARP

SUMMARY:Leveraging Workers' Skills for an Inclusive Economy: Tools\, Resources\, and Evidence
DESCRIPTION:Join WorkRise and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to explore evidence-based tools and resources designed to create pathways for economic mobility and opportunity for workers historically excluded from good jobs.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nAs the U.S. economy reopens\, many Americans are reassessing their priorities and relationship to work. Workers are realizing their potential and seeking better wages and opportunities\, particularly those who held low-wage jobs before the pandemic. Many workers\, however\, may not have the resources to pursue additional education and training on their own. At the same time\, some employers are shifting to inclusive hiring practices that focus on job seekers’ skills and competencies rather than degrees and credentials\, which can screen out qualified candidates. \n\n\n\nResearchers and practitioners from WorkRise’s partner institutions will consider how these tools and resources support workers’ efforts to leverage their existing skills and past work experience to signal their value in the labor market and employers’ growing interest in skills-based hiring. We will highlight insights that enable workforce intermediaries and decision makers to facilitate occupational transitions and stronger matches between local talent and demand. We will also identify gaps in knowledge about effective interventions for promoting mobility in the labor market.  \n\n\n\nVisit speaker and program details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Successful Strategies in Tribal Enterprise Diversification
DESCRIPTION:This Center for Indian Country Development Policy (CICD) webinar will explore how diversification is a critical strategy for tribal economic resilience and stability. It is the second session in a series focused on understanding and addressing the strategic business decisions\, challenges\, and opportunities tribal enterprises face in today’s economic landscape. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nSince time immemorial\, tribal nations have innovated ways to provide for their communities’ well-being and prosperity. By necessity and through the exercise of self-determination\, tribes have successfully created revenue-generating tribal enterprises and corporations. These tribal business entities not only fund the provision of public goods and services but also increase the capacity of tribes to expand and stabilize their economies and communities.
