View the Press Release. In The Long Wait for Progress: Women and Economic and Social Equality, Century Foundation Senior Fellow Beverly Goldberg analyzes the substantial gap in wages between men and women, and then measures that gap in the context of women’s educational achievements and the continuing discrimination against women in the workplace, with attention to the impact of the issues of health and child care. This analysis of the complex and interrelated problems facing working women reveals both that women are subject to pay discrimination and that the inequities between white women and women of color are as striking as those between women and men. This new report from The Century Foundation shows that despite some progress, America is a nation in which neither minorities nor women have yet achieved anything approaching economic or social equality.   Edition: online    Copyright 2008 The Century Foundation.
