The Maine Permanent Commission on the Status of Women (MePCSW) 2024 biennial report (PDF) pulls together information from publicly available data sources to tell the story of Maine women’s labor and economic security. After each section of this report, we also highlight key recommendations for action. Many of these recommendations draw from the strength, scholarship, and expertise of the myriad Maine organizations that are aiming to build a more equitable future for women, girls, and all Maine residents.
