The US NTA/CWW team plays a large role coordinating research across countries, but has also produced work on gendered economic patterns in the United States.  Despite the enormous convergence in market labor force participation for women and men since the early 20th century, the legacy of gendered economic roles endures. 

CWW research highlights current differences in average labor income and time spent on market work versus unpaid care work by age.
