Women in Science: Obstacles and Opportunities
WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF
Women scientists continue to face greater barriers to success than their male counterparts. The same is true for my own field economics in which progress has stalled even more than in science. Empirical evidence from economics demonstrates that the underrepresentation of female researchers has important consequences for society. I also show evidence on some potential reasons for the gender gap in science and economics, and discuss policies that could help to foster a stronger representation of women in science.
