The Women's Budget Group invites you to join this webinar, on Wednesday 30 September 10am-11.30am BST, exploring the work of our Commission on a Gender-Equal Economy and the digital launch of its final report.

The final report lands at a unique moment in global history. Reeling from the first wave of a deadly pandemic, perched on the precipice of a deep and brutal recession, there was never a better time to ask: do we really want to go back to business as usual?

The report lays out a roadmap to building a caring economy. Laying out the what, the why and the how, the report is a call to action. Working together, across the four nations of the UK, at every level, we can design and demand a new economy: an economy which has the wellbeing of individuals, communities and the planet at its centre; an economy which values care, both paid and unpaid, as the activities that nurture us all; an economy which ensures that no-one faces discrimination, violence, or poverty, and in which no-one is left – or pushed – behind. This new economy is a caring economy.

Join Chair of the Commission on a Gender-Equal Economy Diane Elson, report author and Project Manager Marion Sharples, and expert commissioners Zubaida Haque, Angela O'Hagan, Lynn Carvill, Duncan Fisher, and Shola Mos-Shogbamimu , as they reflect on the final report of the Commission, and the impact of its recommendations. The discussion will be chaired by Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee.
