Well into the twenty-first century, achieving gender equality in the economy remains unfinished business. Worldwide, women’s employment, income, and leadership opportunities lag men’s. Building and using a one-of-a-kind database that covers 193 countries, this book systematically analyzes how far we’ve come and how far we have to go in adopting evidence-based solutions to close the gaps. Spanning topics including girls’ education, employment discrimination of all kinds, sexual harassment, and caregiving needs across the life course, the authors bring the findings to life through global maps, stories of laws’ impact in courts and beyond, and case studies of making change. A powerful call to action, Equality within Our Lifetimes reveals how gender equality is both feasible and urgently needed to address some of the greatest challenges of our generation

Content: "The book proceeds in three sections. In section one, we examine how the laws in every country address discrimination in the workplace-not only on the basis of sex and gender, but also based on pregnancy, family status, race/ethnicity, religion, disability, migration status, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and gender identity. Section 2 explores why achieving gender equality in the economy will be impossible without addressing both paid and unpaid caregiving. Lastly, in section three, we assess what it takes to make change happen. Section three examines approaches that would make a difference within months as well as approaches that would be transformational long-term"--
