AAUW Latina Initiative Policy Recommendations
American Association of University Women
Occupational segregation and structural labor market discrimination contribute to significant socioeconomic disparities afflicting Latinas; these inequalities were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, approximately one in five Latinas were unemployed, registering the highest unemployment rate among all workers. Overall, the Latino community has the highest levels of COVID-19 infections and deaths. To address these alarming disparities and inequalities, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) conducted a series of interviews to understand the lived experiences of Latinas during the pandemic. This report shares policy recommendations designed to address the most pressing problems. These include policies to ensure economic security and access to educational opportunities.
