NJ WomenCount – New Issue! August 2007
The Institute for Women’s Leadership (IWL) is pleased to announce the latest edition of NJ WomenCount: “Challenge and Change: Younger and Older Women in New Jersey,” a joint publication of the IWL and the Division on Women, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.
“Challenge and Change: Younger and Older Women in New Jersey” focuses on factors pertinent to the lives of both younger and older women in the state and discusses how families and living arrangements, economics and work, health, education, and political participation differently affect women at various stages of their lives. We hope NJ WomenCount provides new perspectives on available information and stimulates new questions about what works best to serve women and families. |

Background on NJ WomenCount
NJ WomenCount was reborn in the fall of 2001 as a research partnership between Rutgers’ Institute for Women’s Leadership and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the Division on Women. Reports focus on the status of New Jersey women in key areas of demographics and activism, work, education, health, poverty, the law, and violence against women. NJ WomenCount gives up-to-date data and analysis on women’s progress and needs to order to help New Jersey leaders plan and implement effective and equitable policies. The reports also identify research needs to increase our understanding and access to reliable information on women.
Announcing Women’s Leadership Fact Sheets – A New Project of NJ WomenCount!
The Institute for Women’s Leadership is committed to increasing the numbers of women in decision-making and leadership positions across all sectors and professions. Towards these ends, in 2007 we created Women’s Leadership Fact Sheets which will be a new part of the NJ WomenCount research project.
