Klein Wrote About Systemic Inequalities Faced By Women In The Workforce. “Women earn only 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts, African-American and Latina women earn even less, and that wage gap has essentially stagnated since 2007. Women occupy far fewer leadership positions than men in politics and the private sector. And they continue to bear a lopsided responsibility for housekeeping and caring for their families, even in households where both parents work full-time.” [Medium, 1/11/2018].

During The Clinton Administration, Klein Delivered A Special White House Briefing On Child Care Legislation. “Child care is a serious financial burden for families, costing an average of about $4,000 annually, and representing more than a quarter of household income for low-income families. […] In fact, a recent study found that more than one in four employed parents with children under the age of 13 had experienced a problem with their usual child care arrangements in the previous three months.” [11/22/97].
