The Index is an essential tool for assessing how women are faring in California and gender equity in all 58 counties.

<h3>Notice: The 2024 California Women’s Well-Being Index launch on September 4 will now be held virtually due to an abundance of caution regarding COVID-19. Join us online — there’s still time to register, so feel free to share with someone who might be interested!</h3><h3> </h3>

The California Budget &amp; Policy Center (Budget Center) and the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls (CCSWG) invite you to the virtual launch event of the Women’s Well-Being Index (WWBI). We are thrilled to introduce the latest iteration of the California Women’s Well-Being Index, a comprehensive tool that assesses how women across California are faring, using county-level data. The WWBI is a multifaceted measure consisting of five dimensions: health, personal safety, employment and earnings, economic security, and political empowerment. Each dimension includes six indicators, creating an overall well-being score for each of California’s 58 counties, giving state and local leaders the data they need to create meaningful policy change and improve the lives of women across California. This event will serve as the official launch of a partnership between the California Budget &amp; Policy Center and the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and will provide an opportunity for state leaders to hear from the lead researchers on this project. Experts will present their findings, highlighting specific challenges faced by California women including economic security, access to health care, and representation in elected positions. They will connect these challenges to actionable public policies that emphasize gender equity and women’s expertise and representation in policymaking.Following the presentation, a dynamic panel discussion will feature state leaders and other distinguished guests, exploring policy solutions to enhance the well-being of women and advancing gender equity in California. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation about the well-being of women in California, and where we are going next.
