WELAC (LACEA) Gender and Household Economics
WELAC stands for Women in Economic in LAC. Like its sister organizations CSWEP in the US (for the AEA) and WinE in Europe (EEA), WELAC is standing committee of LACEA. Its goals are to promote the careers of female economists and monitor the status of women in the profession.
In this WELAC sponsored workshop, we are interested in any and all aspects of gender inequality and welcome papers by all. Last year’s workshop featured papers on marriage and labor market sorting, parental leaves and gender norms, learning in the household, teen abortion access, sexual harassment in India, and gender gaps in earnings, time use, entrepreneurship, and safety. Both micro and macro issues are welcome, using data from any country, as are a variety of empirical and theoretical approaches.
