In order to effectively evaluate the current status of the CFW and to develop strategies for future growth, we are conducting a survey of all appointed members for the current academic year.
The purpose of this study is to determine what some of the motivating factors have been in member's decisions to join the CFW. We would also like to determine to what extent the CFW has benefited you and which of the CFW's goals the membership is most engaged with.
As an appointed member, your feedback is valued. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to reviewing your responses. You may complete the survey at the link provided below:

The Mommy Track Divides
National Bureau of Economic Research paper: The Mommy Track Divides: The Impact of Childbearing on Wages of Women of Differing Skill Levels
"This paper explores how the wage and career consequences of motherhood differ by skill and timing. Past work has often found smaller or even negligible effects from childbearing for high-skill women, but we find the opposite. Wage trajectories diverge sharply for high scoring women after, but not before, they have children, while there is little change for low-skill women. It appears that the lifetime costs of childbearing, especially early childbearing, are particularly high for skilled women. These differential costs of childbearing may account for the far greater tendency of high-skill women to delay or avoid childbearing altogether."

There Is No Male-Female Wage Gap
Carrie Lukas, executive director of the Independent Women's Forum, writes in the April 12, 2011, Wall Street Journal that, "A study of single, childless urban workers between the ages of 22 and 30 found that women earned 8% more than men."

I believe that Ms. Lukas refers to a Reach Advisors' study reported by the AFP news service.
