ECO 3050 - Women in The Economy

Institution:

Castleton State College (7.1.2023 merged into Vermont State University)

Subject:

Description:

Why do we observe differences between women and men in terms of work, income, consumption and ownership of property? Why have these differences varied over time, between countries, and across ethnic groups and social classes? This class draws upon both traditional and critical economic theories and analyses as well as empirical evidence to address these questions and also to evaluate the policy issues surrounding gender-based economic differences. Many of these questions are controversial; no single theory or perspective will be offered as the correct one. Instead, the process developed will be one of critical thinking. The class is expected to be of interest to men as well as to women. Prerequisite: any Economics course is recommended, but not required. Spring, even years.
