Central Ohio's women face unique barriers compared to men in the creation and accumulation of their personal wealth. The cost of the disparity is enormous: the Federal Reserve estimated that closing gender and racial wealth gaps could have increased Ohio's GDP by $67 billion between 2005 and 2019. This week's forum digs into the challenges Central Ohio women face in the creation of personal wealth and the new data and policies needed to close the disparity.
