Associate Professor Alejandra Ros Pilarz gave a talk recently as part of the “Big Ideas” series for the Work and Family Research Network. In the talk, “Work-Family Balance Begins Before Childbirth — Work-Family Policies Should, Too” Dr. Pilarz argues that we need more robust policy supports during pregnancy to protect women’s economic wellbeing and health and that of their unborn children. The talk is part of on-going research with Assistant Professor Jessica Pac and PhD student Anna Walther.
