Double tax – why women pay it and what to do about it
In this insightful discussion, Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, an economist and author of The Double Tax, teams up with Marie-Sophie Lappe, a researcher focused on wealth trends in Europe. They explore the concept of the double tax — the compounded costs of racism and sexism that impact women, especially women of color. The duo highlights how these economic inequalities stifle overall growth, discusses the gender wealth gap in savings and pensions, and emphasizes how policies supporting Black women can benefit society at large.
