Can I afford child care? Will I be able to stay home to care for my new baby? Will I get fired if I miss work because I have the flu? Is he making more than I am? Is my paycheck enough to cover my bills? These may be the issues that keep *each* of us up at night, but the reality is, we’re *all* grappling with them. When you add them together, the effects of these pocketbook issues can equal poverty for women. This panel of experts will discuss the roadmap that gets us from economic struggle to economic security.
