Gender Inequality: Navigating New Frontiers and Paradigm Shifts



This workshop will explore emerging policy challenges and cutting-edge research on gender inequality in a rapidly changing world. It will examine how transformative forces like technology and climate change, alongside evolving issues such as fertility, labour participation, and caregiving, impact progress towards gender equality.

This workshop is uniquely positioned to lead this dialogue, drawing on the expertise and policy-oriented focus of three departments, the Department of Social Policy at LSE, the AXA Gender Lab at Bocconi, and NYU Abu Dhabi, that have been at the forefront of creating vibrant communities of gender researchers across Europe. By bringing together scholars, policymakers, and advocates, we aim to illuminate pathways for meaningful change and build a collective vision for a more equitable future.
