This emerging field of study explores intrinsic themes such as labour market disparities and legal rights through a gendered lens.
What causes and mechanisms lead to the Gender Wage Gap, Employment Discrimination, Legal Rights and Gender Equality within the family, both in cooperative or corporative settings? How do divorce, custody, and alimony laws influence economic outcomes for men, women and others? What is the impact of social welfare programs on gender equality, including maternity leave, childcare support, and social security? The course will structure cultural and societal grounds for answering these questions. Students will be invited to learn and research a variety of themes, examining their own experiences and knowledge on the matter. They will choose the challenge they wish to understand, analyse, confront, and assess their possible action based on the provided references accordingly.
