Influence: Bridging the Gender Gap in Economics

Prominent Irish economist Dr. Emma Howard discusses why diversity is essential - not just for women in the labor market, but for solving global economic challenges.

She shares insights from her research on gender disparities in media representation, the barriers women face in the profession, how behavioural economics can change society and initiatives to foster inclusion.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of diversity in economics with host Michelle Martin.
