A new study co-published by the Asset Funders Network and the Closing the Women’s Wealth Gap Initiative examines the large gap in household wealth between households headed by men and households headed by women. The report, entitled Clipped Wings, identifies steps that nonprofits, philanthropy, and policy can take to close that gap. Co-authors Fenaba Addo, CFS Affiliate and Professor of Consumer Science at UW-Madison, Jhumpa Bhattacharya, and Anne Price, both from the Insight Center for Community Economic Development (ICCED), examine the extent of gendered wealth inequality in the US and how policy and practice can work to counteract those inequalities.
