Briefing Paper: The Economic Status of Women in Ohio, 2007 (PDF)
This research is funded by a partnership of The Women’s Endowment Fund of the Akron Community Foundation, The Women’s Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the Institute for Women, Gender, and Public Policy at The Ohio State University, and The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio.
The Economic Status of Women in Ohio focuses on two areas: women's employment and earnings and social and economic autonomy. The research includes specific details on the economic status of women in Ohio, compares Ohio to other states across the country, measures progress since 2004, and includes policy recommendations tailored to Ohio. The release of this research coincided with Women’s Funds’ Statehouse Day on February 20, 2007.

The Status of Women in Ohio, 2004: Highlights (PDF)
This fact sheet was produced with support from The Women's Fund of Central Ohio and the Women's Community Foundation in Cleveland .
The Status of Women in Ohio, 2004: Highlights demonstrates how Ohio ranks on key indicators such as political participation, employment and earnings, social and economic autonomy, reproductive rights, and health and well-being. It also includes an overview of the status of women of color in Ohio.
The State of Women in the States project is designed to inform citizens about the progress of women in their state relative to women in other states, to men, and to the nation as a whole. For each category, Ohio receives a national ranking, regional ranking, and a grade. For example, in the Composite Employment and Earnings Index, Ohio ranks 25th nationally with a grade of "C" while earning a rank of 44th nationally and a grade of "F" in the Composite Reproductive Rights Index. Between 1996 and 2004, the Institute for Women's Policy Research produced reports on women's status in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
