WORKSHOP - Gender and STEM Subjects - 1 Giugno 2016

Pubblicato: Martedì 17 maggio 2016

1 June 2016, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Via Real Collegio 30, Moncalieri (Torino)

Gender differences in the so-called STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines are widespread in most countries in the world. The presence of a gender gap in these disciplines is of particular importance, because it has consequences for the gender gap in the study of STEM subjects at university, for gender segregation in the labour market, and for gender pay gaps. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different fields and institutions presenting empirical evidence for Italy, US, UK.
