Targeted Policy or Social Signaling

Critique a policy agenda aimed at women that emphasizes a small set of highly visible concerns such as health, caregiving, and education. What problems does this approach solve well, and what issues does it leave out, such as wages, promotion, childcare supply, and political representation? Compare symbolic policy, narrowly targeted support, and structural reform. Then draft a more comprehensive women’s policy framework that is practical, measurable, and not limited to one life stage.
