Štěpán Jurajda: Women in Science – What do we know?

Let us invite you to a public lecture by Štěpán Jurajda, a CERGE-EI researcher, which will take place during the Week of the Czech Academy on November 4, at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry.

10.00    Prof. Ing. Štěpán Jurajda, Ph.D., DSc.
    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.
