| Women in Science – What do we know? | ||
| 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. | ||
