Next up: @AlisonKoslowski from @workcareshare, encouraging us to think about the nuances of formal/informal and individual/systemic change.
Human capital emerging as a key theme this morning - care work as investment in human capital and the need to value women's human capital.
If women were in the right place for their skills (allocative efficiency), it could be worth £17bn to the Scottish economy.
Research from @closethepaygap: 94% of employers have equal pay policy - <⅓ have done equal pay review - 3% have taken action on pay gap.
Ritchie Allan: 48% of lower-middle income and 42% of higher income took lower-skilled job after having children. @closethepaygap
Anna Ritchie Allan from @closethepaygap: One third of parents in severe poverty have had to turn down job because of high cost of childcare.
Emma Ritch of @EngenderScot: in 2010, value of informal childcare estimated at £343bn. Equivalent to 23% of GDP.
Great point from Alison Koslowski. Social policy also a form of history: we can't investigate what hasn't happened yet.
Angela Davis from @HandPParenting now describing a bottom-up approach: co-creation of knowledge with local policy makers and practitioners.
Now @HistorianHelen is getting us started - what are challenges and opportunities for historians who want to speak to social policy issues?
Great to be in Glasgow for our final network meeting on Gender, Work and the Care Economy with Close The Gap, Work/Care/Share and Engender.
