Influence: Bridging the Gender Gap in Economics

Why is there such a stark gender imbalance in economics, where only three women have ever won a Nobel Prize in the field? Prominent Irish economist Dr. Emma Howard discusses why diversity is essential - not just for women in the labor market, but for solving global economic challenges. She shares insights from her research on gender disparities in media representation, the barriers women face in the profession, how behavioural economics can change society and initiatives to foster inclusion.  Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of diversity in economics with host Michelle Martin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
