Dear Gender and Economics Working Group members,

Input Talk: Lee Badgett – Friday Nov 13 (14:00 – 16:00 UTC)
In this session we will bring to light specificities of gender and sexual orientation. We aim to focus in the answer "Why should economists study LGBTQIA+ people and other sexual and gender minority groups?"
Please note that this session will take place at the Inequalities constellation.

After today, we return to the Gender and Economics Ship for our final three sessions:
A Gendered Analysis of the World of Work in the Global South – Saturday Nov 14 (14:00 – 16:00 UTC)
Labour economics has always had a prominent role in the field of gender and economics. Far from losing momentum, these debates are in constant development with new and exciting findings emerging every day. In this panel, we will discuss different case studies from the Global South with the goal of exploring common patterns as well as identifying specific trends.
