Description

This course explores how and why gender affects contemporary economic outcomes in the United States, with a particular attention to occupations, incomes, and the distribution of unpaid work, and to the intersection of gender with race and class. Both mainstream economic and alternative theories are discussed, and emphasis is placed on evaluating these theories in light of empirical evidence. The role of government and business policies in creating more equitable and efficient outcomes is explored.
