Gender equality, its measurement and policies and their evaluation are at the centre of this interdisciplinary research area, within which analyses are focused on:
• Determinants of gender inequalities in educational pathways and skills acquisition (gender gaps in different cognitive domains, with particular attention to STEM and implications for participation in the digital economy).
• Determinants of gender inequalities at work (paid and unpaid domestic and care work) and resource distribution
• Economic discrimination (in employment and wages): theoretical models, measurement, determinants and anti-discrimination policies
• Legal instruments to prevent and protect against gender discrimination and to create inclusive working environments in the private and public sectors (anti-discrimination law, affirmative action, conditionality), including complex forms of discrimination (indirect, intersectional, multiple, by association).
• Impact assessment of public policies and gender reporting (gender budget, gender sensitive performance cycle, strategic planning, gender equality plans) Comparative analysis of gender budgeting methodologies at the international level, with particular attention to a forecasting perspective aimed at incorporating the principles of gender mainstreaming into the budgetary decision-making process. Special attention will be paid to the impact assessment of the public policies activated by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, taking into account the transversal priority of gender equality.
• Measuring gender equality and diversity in organisations.
• Economic discrimination against LGBTQI+: in education, access to employment, career paths and pay gaps.
• Policies and practices for inclusive LGBTQI+ organisations.
