Diversity and Prejudices in Labour Market and Society

To mark the occasion of the International Women’s Day, The Centre for Economic Policy Research and The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development invite you to an online event on the topic of Diversity and Prejudices in Labour Market and Society.

Despite some progress and success, many people continue to face social, economical, and political challenges in the 21st century. Why does gender inequality persist and how far have we progressed towards gender equality? Marianne Bertrand (University of Chicago and CEPR) will shine a light on the answers to these questions in her keynote speech on Gender in the 21st Century. An expert panel, including Anna Aizer (Brown University), Leah Boustan (Princeton University) and Rachel Griffith (University of Manchester, Institute for Fiscal Studies and CEPR), will follow the keynote speech with a discussion focused on the questions concerning diversity and prejudices in the labour markets and society in more detail.

We look forward to you joining us, as we embark on a journey to explore the uneven nature of diversity in labour markets.
