The Opportunity Before Us: Closing the Gaps Holding Texas Back
$2.8 Trillion
Size of the Texas economythe largest in the nation
46%
Women’s representation in the current workforce (projected to reach 50% by 2040).
1.4x
The rate at which Texas women earn college degrees compared to men.
Sources
Our state’s national ranking across 25 different indicators of women’s well being.
Where Texas is Losing Ground - and How We Can Change It
The Childcare Crisis
Center-based infant care cost of over $11,000 annually absorbs 12.5% of the median family income in Dallas County.
Over 43,000 young mothers in Dallas County are sidelined from the workforce due to lack of childcare
Gender Wage Disparity
Women in Texas earn just 83 cents for every dollar earned by men.
$750,000 lost in lifetime earnings for working women
Healthcare Access & Affordability
Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured women in the nation at 17%
1 in 4 full-time, yearround working women do not have health insurance.
The Leadership Gap
Women occupy only 28% of top executive positions in the state despite earning the majority of degrees
The Education Penalty
Texas women with graduate and professional degrees still earn $37,000 less annually than men
Closing this gap would add $33 billion to Texas' economy each year.
The Bottom Line: Texas loses billions in earnings and productivity each year.
Women are the future of Texas’ workforce They represent 46% today and will make up half by 2040 Together, we can close these gaps and build a stronger and more vibrant Texas for all
100% of our invested assets are deployed into a mission-aligned, values-based portfolio designed to generate strong financial returns and social impact.
