- Speaker/s
The second half of the twentieth century has witnessed a spectacular rise in women's participation to the labor market in most of the developed world, together with gradual gender convergence in wages and earnings, and the entry of women in occupations traditionally occupied by men. Women's changing role in the labor market has also generated and was often eased by government intervention and firm policies targeting families and in particular providing women with means to combine careers and motherhood. This talk will document these trends and discuss evidence on interactions between families, the labor market, and family policies.

Lídia Farré
Profesora de la Universidad de Barcelona e investigadora asociada del Instituto de Análisis Económico. Es doctora en economía por el European University Institute de Florencia. Su investigación se centra en el análisis del mercado de trabajo y en concreto en entender los factores responsables de la persistencia de la brecha de género en el mercado de trabajo. En particular, analiza el papel de las normas sociales en la persistencia de género y en la capacidad de las políticas públicas para cambiarlas.
La profesora Farré también es actualmente la presidenta de COSME, el comité sobre la situación de la mujer en economía, que es un subcomité de la Asociación de Economía encargado de evaluar y promocionar el estado de las mujeres dentro de la profesión económica. Entre las diversas actividades impulsadas por COSME está la organización, junto a la Fundación Ramon Areces, de una reunión de trabajo anual sobre economía del género a la que acuden los mejores expertos en la materia de ámbito nacional e internacional.
