Štěpán Jurajda: Women in Economics

Why are there still so few women in science, particularly in STEM fields? Drawing on insights from labor economics, Štěpán Jurajda will examine the factors shaping the labor-market participation of highly educated women and the changing representation of women in science. The lecture will consider the roles of individual differences, institutions, and social norms, and will review causal evidence on policies aimed at increasing women’s participation in scientific careers.
