We've added a number of new links to the CLIC this week, including:
An article recommended by Molly Freeman, of Cohort D, on the tragic results for many children of economic stresses on their caregivers. http://consumer.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=656931
Many thanks to Riane for passing on an excellent policy paper on the ROI of investing in girls, called Measuring the Economic Gain of Investing in Girls. The working paper is an August, 2011 offering from The World Bank Human Development Network Children and Youth Unit & Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network Gender Unit

Riane also shared a short CBSNews story about the girl effect

And, from Kim Otis, our Caring Economics Campaign Director (and Cohort D member!), comes this great article on why it is so critical to go much further in factoring women into global development, featuring one of our most engaged Caring Economics advisors, Elaine Zuckerman.
