WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
Elyse Shaw from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research talks with Joanne Powers of Workers Independent News about the report “Undervalued and Underpaid in America: Women in Low-Wage Female-Dominated Jobs,” a project of IWPR and Oxfam America. The conversation covers the disconnect between education and wages, unpredictable hours, lack of benefits, popular misconceptions, unions, and intersectionality issues like race and immigrant status – and also the excitement of doing a “deep dive” into facts that point to the need for nuanced solutions.
Shaw is a Senior Research Associate at Washington-DC-based IWPR, and the lead author of the in-depth 2016 study titled “Undervalued and Underpaid in America: Women in Low-Wage Female-Dominated Jobs”.
