HCSF Salon: Unpacking the Gender Wage Gap
Pre-pandemic, the average woman loses over $400,000 over a 40 year career due to the gender wage gap. The pandemic is now projected to add $600,000 in lifetime income loss for the 4.5 million women out of work. Join two founders tackling these systemic issues, Milo founder Avni Patel Thompson and Mirza co-founder Siran Cao, to dive into research on the pay gap and what we need at home, at work, and at a society-level to move forward.
