Moms Equal Pay Day

Moms Equal Pay Day is the day that mothers must work until before they earn the equivalent of what men were paid the previous year.

After two years of economic uncertainty due to the pandemic, research from Equal Rights Advocates new survey found that over 50% of Black and Latinx caregivers struggled making ends meet due to increased caregiving responsibilities and debt.

Here's what we learned:

84% expect childcare responsibilities will delay plans that could improve their financial security
38% said shifts in childcare led to reduction in work hours
17% were forced to leave their jobs due to childcare responsibilities and lack of childcare
31% said childcare responsibilities will delay their return to their previous level of employment
24% said childcare responsibilities will delay their achievement of long-term financial goals
14% anticipate deferring childcare

Historically, the default economic policy of this country has been to block Black and Latinx families from asset building while extracting their labor. This will only worsen as reproductive autonomy and access to abortion is stripped away. Black and Latinx family breadwinners shouldn’t have to choose between quality, affordable childcare and financial stability. We need to increase investments in childcare and universal Pre-K.

Equal pay days were started by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996. Their goal was to raise awareness about the gender wage gap.
