Access & Inclusion as Economic Infrastructure: Religious Discrimination Against Muslim Women

In 2021, the Drake Institute examined the persistent problem of religious discrimination against Muslim women in the United States. At the time, Muslim Americans reported institutional discrimination at rates higher than any other religious group, and Muslim women were disproportionately targeted because of observable religious attire—such as hijabs or modesty swimwear—hindering their ability to live, work, and participate freely.

Care as Economic Infrastructure: Doula Services and Medicaid Coverage

—by admin

In 2021, the Drake Institute flagged a quiet but critical shift in maternal health policy: states were beginning to recognize doulas as Medicaid providers, opening new pathways for reimbursing services long delivered outside formal medical systems. At the time, four states—Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, and Oklahoma—had passed legislation to integrate doulas into Medicaid, while pilot programs were underway in New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. Advocates, however, expressed concern: without inclusive certification structures and provider-led policymaking, landmark legislation could inadvertently exclude community-based doulas—the very practitioners most trusted by marginalized families.

Access & Inclusion as Economic Infrastructure: Gender-Based Occupational Segregation in STEM

—by admin

In 2021, the Drake Institute’s fellows highlighted a troubling reality: although women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce and hold half of all undergraduate degrees, they continue to represent only a fraction of the nation’s science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals. At that time, women accounted for just 28 percent of science and engineering personnel, and fewer than one in five bachelor’s degrees in computer science and engineering were awarded to women. Researchers pointed not to ability but to confidence gaps as a key factor in this persistent segregation. This uneven representation was not only a matter of equity; it revealed a structural weakness in our economic infrastructure.
