Gender Economics (200-level) explores gender issues from an economic perspective within diverse societies. This course investigates theoretical frameworks and empirical analyses to examine the changes in labor force participation, the gender gap in pay, workplace discrimination, social norms, household decision-making, and human capital. Through a multidisciplinary approach drawing from economics, sociology, and feminist theory, students critically assess topics such as the gender wage gap, occupational segregation, caregiving responsibilities, and the impact of policy interventions on gender equality. By engaging with contemporary research and real-world case studies, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the intersections between gender, economics, and social justice, preparing them to navigate complex issues in both academic and professional spheres. |
