Title: Yet Another Report on the Status of Women citing Bogus Data
Topic: Status of Women
Discussed by Sabrina Schaeffer
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)
The White House is
trumpeting its newly released report on “Women in America” as the first
comprehensive federal report on women since 1963, though much of it seems a
reiteration of the National Economic Council’s report from just a few months
ago. The new report does detail the gains women have made in
education and in the workforce, but repeats misleading statistics about women
earning 75 cents of each dollar earned by men. The report does NOT provide the
context for how personal choices drive certain statistics. One aspect of the
report which should be studied by all teenagers, especially females: women tend
to have higher poverty rates. Could babies having babies out of wedlock have
anything to do with this fact?
