Career and Family : Women’s Century-Long Journey toward Equity
Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in EconomicsA renowned economic historian traces women’s journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at homeA century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family.Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home.This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach. Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children.She shows how many professions are “greedy,” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men.Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic’s silver lining. Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough.Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.

Decolonizing Equity
Institutions everywhere seem to be increasingly aware of their roles in settler colonialism and anti-Black racism.As such, many racialized workers find themselves tasked with developing equity plans for their departments, associations or faculties.This collection acknowledges this work as both survival and burden for Black, Indigenous and racialized peoples.It highlights what we already know and are already doing in our respective areas and offers a vision of what equity can look like through a decolonial lens.What helps us to make this work possible? How do we take care with ourselves and each other in this work?What does solidarity, collaboration or "allyship" look like in decolonial equity work?What are the implicit and explicit barriers we face in shifting equity discourse, policy and practice, and what strategies, skills and practices can help us in creating environments and lived realities of decolonial equity?This edited collection centres the voices of Indigenous, Black and other racialized peoples in articulating a vision for decolonial equity work.Specifically, the focus on decolonizing equity is an invitation to re-articulate what equity work can look like when we refuse to separate ideas of equity from the historical and contemporary realities of colonialism in the settler colonial nation states known as Canada and the United States and when we insist on linking an equity agenda to the work of decolonizing our shared realities.

How is equity calculated?
Equity is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a company from its total assets. In other words, equity represents the ownership interest in a company's assets after all debts and obligations have been paid off. It is a measure of the company's net worth and is often used by investors and analysts to assess the financial health and value of a company. Equity can also be calculated for individuals by subtracting their total liabilities (such as mortgages, loans, and credit card debt) from their total assets (such as savings, investments, and property).

What is equity capital?
Equity capital refers to the funds that a company raises by selling shares of ownership in the business. These shares represent ownership in the company and entitle the shareholders to a portion of the company's profits and a say in its decision-making processes. Equity capital is a crucial source of long-term funding for a company and can be raised through the sale of common stock or preferred stock. Unlike debt capital, equity capital does not need to be repaid and does not accrue interest, but it does dilute the ownership stake of existing shareholders.

'Equity type or legal type?'
Equity type refers to the ownership structure of a company, indicating whether it is publicly traded or privately held. Legal type, on the other hand, refers to the legal structure of a business entity, such as a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. While equity type focuses on ownership, legal type is concerned with the legal rights and responsibilities of the entity. Both equity type and legal type are important considerations when determining the structure and governance of a business.
-
What is the accumulated equity?
The accumulated equity is the total value of an asset after subtracting any liabilities or debts associated with it. It represents the ownership interest or value that an individual or entity has in the asset. Accumulated equity can increase over time as the asset appreciates in value or as debts are paid off, resulting in a higher net worth for the owner. It is an important measure of financial health and can be used to determine the overall value of an investment or property.

The Necessary Journey : Making Real Progress on Equity and Inclusion
"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?"This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is.A truly inclusive workplace requires invention and reinvention, mistakes and humility, adaptation to a changing world, constant reflection, and sometimes significant sacrifice. The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way.Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others.Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do.These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet.Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too. Progress is hard won on the necessary journey to becoming an inclusive organization, but it must be won.John Lewis said it best: "You see something you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in."

How can one improve equity?
One can improve equity by addressing systemic barriers and biases that contribute to inequality. This can be achieved through policies and practices that promote equal access to opportunities, resources, and representation for all individuals, regardless of their background. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of society can help to create a more equitable environment. It is also important to actively listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized communities in decision-making processes.

How does depreciation affect equity?
Depreciation reduces the value of assets on the balance sheet, which in turn reduces the overall equity of the company. This is because equity is calculated as the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. As the value of assets decreases due to depreciation, the overall equity of the company also decreases. This can impact the financial health of the company and its ability to attract investors or secure financing.

What is the difference between equal opportunities, equity of opportunity, and equity of achievement?
Equal opportunities refers to the idea that everyone should have the same access to opportunities, resources, and rights regardless of their background or circumstances. Equity of opportunity goes a step further, aiming to ensure that everyone has the support and resources they need to have an equal chance of success, taking into account individual differences and barriers. Equity of achievement focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same chance of achieving success, regardless of their starting point, and aims to address and eliminate disparities in outcomes. In summary, while equal opportunities focuses on access, equity of opportunity and equity of achievement focus on addressing and eliminating disparities in support and outcomes.
