The Dynamics of Gender Inequality in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia
Hannah Bargawi (SOAS), Hassan Hakimian (SOAS), Susan Joekes (Independent Researcher) and Massoud Karshenas (SOAS)
Researchers at SOAS are leading a Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) that is intended on identifying innovative disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research agendas on female labour and dynamics of inequality in developing countries. This seminar is an opportunity to find out more about the network, its activities and avenues for future research. This network is concerned with gender and dynamics of inequality in three world regions, with specific focus on (a) the interplay of economic structures, policies and institutions as the determinants of women’s access to employment and (b) the patterns of women’s economic participation as key drivers of inequality.
