Recession and Budget Crisis Take a Significant Toll on California’s Women & Families
February 2, 2012 - Reports & Studies
California’s perfect storm of job loss, stagnant wages, and massive budget cuts threatens the economic security of women and their families by undermining programs they depend on and by restricting access to education and training. This includes older women and women with disabilities, for which cuts to assistance have compromised their ability to afford necessities such as housing and groceries. The report, "Falling Behind: The Impact of the Great Recession and the Budget Crisis on California’s Women and their Families," produced by the California Budget Project, highlights related statistics to provide the most comprehensive look at the impact of recent budget actions on women in the state.
