CWW Policy Brief No. 1
CWW Policy Brief No. 1 demonstrates the importance of CWW research for a number of policy areas in developing countries. It is entitled How “Counting Women’s Work” Matters: Evidence from the Global South.
The first publication in the Counting Women’s Work working paper series focuses on results across a diverse group of countries in the “global south.” The analysis demonstrates that unpaid care work is a huge part of economic activity in these countries. Recognizing and understanding this vast but usually ignored sector of the economy has implications for policies related to labor force participation, girls’ education, family policy, and human capital investment.

Symposium on Gender Gaps in National Transfer Accounts and National Time Transfer Accounts
Counting Women's Work collaborated with a task force on Gender Economic Equity to make sure that discussions of women’s economic empowerment included evidence from both the market and household economies.
Researchers, representatives from international organizations, members of the government of Colombia, media, students, and other interested parties met in Bogotá, Colombia on February 28, 2018 to share results from NTA and CWW researchers and learn about the challenges and concerns of various stakeholders around issues of inequality and transfers of money and time.
The event was organized by the CWW Colombia team including Dr. B. Piedad Urdinola, of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Bogotá, and Dr. Jorge A. Tovar of the Universidad de los Andes-Bogotá, and featured their research on Colombia as well as cross-country comparative work from other CWW researchers, and personnel of the United Nations, and of Colombian universities and government representatives.
The event was sponsored by the United Nations Population Fund, the Departamento Nacional de Planeación of Colombia, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Universidad los Andes, National Transfers Accounts, and Counting Women’s Work.
