Description:
Why is there a gender disparity in economics? How does this impact economic policy? What does this mean for society?
This contributed volume explores the underrepresentation of women in the field of economics. Offering unique empirical approaches into gender imbalance in a profession, this book documents the leaky pipeline that women face in the field of economics.
Contributors draw upon quantitative and qualitative data, exploring unique challenges and opportunities women economists encounter in their personal and professional lives. Chapters highlight issues of discrimination and implicit bias, such as silencing, mansplaining, and the presumption of incompetence. These sections bring to life the experiences of female students and faculty, examining teaching, hiring, colleague interactions, and tenure and promotion processes. The authors propose mechanisms to increase diversity and improve the experiences of all faculty members.
Missing Voices in Economics explores whether historical sexist structures are slowing progress in economic research and, as a result, human development. Readers will walk away from the book ready to continue this conversation and support gender equity in economics.
