Women’s individual poverty risk is significantly higher, even among full time workers, and tax benefit systems do not close this gap. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecosys.2025.10136325 Nov 2025 15:08 +0000at://did:plc:g2zh452hcrcofcum4ct3p4ml/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6hmn5wm4n26https://bsky.app/profile/cempaessex.bsky.social/post/3lvslm2ij3q25📢 We’re hiring at CeMPA @ISERessex!
