Gender Equality and Inclusivity: Transforming Economics, Workplaces, and Politics

Editors: Paola Profeta (Bocconi University) and Elena Stancanelli (Paris School of Economics)

Gender gaps in recruiting, promotion, and representation at the top of the hierarchy in firms, organizations and political institutions remain persistent. Structural, cultural and institutional factors continue to impede progress towards gender equality and diversity. This lack of inclusivity carries substantial economic and social costs for societies, workplaces and individuals. This special issue explores the causes and consequences of these inequalities, addressing the challenges and opportunities for transforming firms, organizations and political institutions toward gender equality and inclusivity.

Submissions are open. Papers can be submitted following the gudelines of the journal and choosing the special issue in the submission site.

Final submission deadline is the 31st January 2026. Papers will be considered as they are submitted, first in, first served.

The best accepted paper by an early-career scholar will be considered for the GEPINC prize.

UK WEN: Peer Learning Sets (PLS)

Peer Learning Sets fall within the UK Women in Economics Network ‘Action’ Initiative. The aim of the ‘action’ initiative is to drive positive change through peer-learning and best practice sharing amongst women.

Peer learning sets will achieve this by facilitating discussion on a shared challenge or development aim. The objective is for peer groups to discuss and implement practical solutions to the shared issue, thus bringing about personal, professional and/or cultural change in economics within and across institutions/sectors.

We are offering the opportunity for 25 women economists to become a Peer Learning Set Facilitator where you will receive training and support to develop and run a PLS. The form to apply is at the bottom of this page.

The training session will be held virtually in early March 2024. To apply to join the training and become a PLS facilitator, please complete this form.
