This event will present the recently launched Equality within Our Lifetimes package of data that “systematically analyzes where the world stands, how far we’ve come, and how far we have to go when it comes to adopting laws and policies that are critical to advancing gender equality in the economy for all 193 countries”, covering topics including caregiving, girls’ education, and gender discrimination. It will then bring together a panel of experts to explore the persistent obstacles to gender equality in caregiving and the practical ways that these obstacles can be overcome, from an advocacy, policymaking, and research perspective, with a focus on Francophone Africa. This event is co-organized by the WORLD Policy Analysis Center and CGD.
