Despite decades of progress, women remain underrepresented in the field of economics. This event explores the gender disparities in the discipline and what this means for economics and society.
Our speakers share research on women in economics, insights from their own experiences and advice for those wanting to make a career in economics. What challenges face women economists at different stages in their careers? What progress has been made? What changes are needed now?
