INU is pleased to offer Phase Two Seed Money Funding of £2,500 to expand the collaborative project on ‘Gender inequalities i the labor market’ between four INU member universities; Parahyangan Catholic University (Indonesia), Stellenbosch University (South Africa), Malmö University (Sweden) and Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain).
The project, which is led by Dr Ferran Mañe, Associate Professor, Department of Economics at
Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain) aims to explore the gender disparities in the labor market, using comparisons from different countries. The project will take into consideration differences across countries in institutions as well as non-economic factors such as cultural or social norms, and public policies. The second phase of the project will aim to result in a publication entitled “Norms on female labour participation”. The project will aim to:
– Extend the theoretical base on the fundamental question of where social/cultural norms come from and how they evolve.
– Calculate a detailed set of indicators to measure social/cultural norms.
– Compare different countries along the battery of indicators.
– Estimate the impact of the indicators on the situation of females in the respective labor markets.
– Develop norm-sensitive policy responses.
