Lecture: Štěpán Jurajda – Women in Science – What do we know? (Week of the Czech Academy of Sciences)
4 November 2024, 10 AM
IOCB Prague, Flemingovo nám. 2, Praha 6–Dejvice
Abstract: Why are there so few women in science? We will start with general lessons (from labor economics) on what drives the labor-market participation of educated women. Next, we will discuss the evolution of the participation of women in science, and nature vs. institutions/social norms as driving factors. Finally, we will review causal (as opposed to descriptive) evidence on policies that increase the participation of women in science, esp. in STEM fields.
The lecture is organized by the Women in Science at IOCB initiative.
