Abstract: While Arizona has seen continued economic momentum and the successful implementation of an expansive, statewide paid sick days law,1 the state lags behind in other policies that would support women and their families, including those concerning maternal and reproductive health. Policymakers should prioritize policies that advance economic security and health care in Arizona. Women need policies that reflect their roles as providers and caregivers. In Arizona, mothers are the sole, primary, or co-breadwinners in 58.8 percent of families,2 and these numbers are higher for some women of color. The following policy recommendations can help support the economic security of women and families in Arizona.
