The Russian aggression against Ukraine has brought incredible destruction in Ukraine and suffering for the Ukrainian population. In the first two months after February 24th, 2022, economic activities came to a standstill for most Ukrainian workers and firms. However, as time passed, the Ukrainian population has shown its resilience and tremendous courage as economic activity slowly but steadily recovered. Like in many prior conflicts, labor markets and economic production have continued to exist in Ukraine.

SITE ACADEMIC CONFERENCE

This year’s SITE Academic Conference – Gender in Economics: From Survival to Career Opportunities, brings together leading international scholars to discuss what current research tells us about the existing forms of gender inequality worldwide, their causes, and their consequences.

START TIME:2018-12-17 at 08:45

END TIME:2018-12-18 at 16:00

In spite of steady progress in closing gender inequality in several parts of the world over the last decades, gender remains a powerful predictor of many economic and social individual outcomes. Numerous national governments and international organizations have committed to address existing gender inequalities, on the grounds that protecting and promoting women’s rights is equivalent to protecting and promoting human rights. It is also generally understood that gender equality is instrumental in building societies that are more inclusive, and as such more socially and economically developed.

The conference will feature a combination of keynote speakers, paper presentations, and a panel discussion. Some of the themes addressed are the formation of social norms regarding women’s roles in society, intra-household bargaining power and reproductive decision-making, gender violence, and the glass ceiling for women in labor markets and politics.

Keynote speakers:

Marianne Bertrand, Chris P. Dialynas Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, University of Chicago Booth School of Business
Alessandra Voena, Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, University of Chicago

Location: Stockholm School of Economics, KAW Room 1^st fl, Bertil Ohlins Gata 5
Date: Monday Dec 17- Tuesday Dec 18, 2018
