A report released last week recommended equal pay protections, improved funding for child care and better workforce training to address wage and work gaps faced by women in Alabama.
“Women face considerable barriers to completing workforce training programs, entering the workforce, and staying employed,” the report said. “Among the leading challenges are transportation, health care, childcare, and wage disparities.”
To better develop the workforce pipeline for women and girls, the report recommended adding a representative to the Alabama Workforce Council to focus on gender dynamics in the workplace. The report also recommended increasing funding for programs that expose girls to STEM and prepare them for those jobs. Tech Trek Camp, hosted by the University of Alabama in Huntsville has been successful at convincing girls that math, science and spatial learning is learned and “not innate,” the report said. Additionally, the Worlds of Work Expo has showcased careers to young people.
“Closing the pay and workforce participation gap could yield radical gains to the tune of an estimated 59,000 new jobs, $15 billion in new income deployed in Alabama businesses, and a boost to our state’s economy by up to $22 billion,” Melanie Bridgeforth, the chair of the group and president and CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Alabama, said in a statement released with the report Friday.
