Side Event at the United Nations CSW
WOW co-hosted a side event with Conchita Poncini (bright pink) from Geneva. The topic was women and the value of their un paid labor. Work on the issue has been ongoing and significant additions were made by our WOW intern while in Geneva. BYU was gracious enough to fly him to New York for the presentation. Carl Brinton is second from the left. His paper, Macroeco Homeics: How households Satellite Accounts Can put the “Home” Back in Economics, can be found soon on the WOW website wowinfo.org. Jannise Jannson from Sweden also presented information about her country, and the difficulty to choose mothering at home over work in the labor force.
