Description:

This course examines the economic behavior of women and men in the labor market and household, with particular emphasis on how economic outcomes affect relative economic status. Economic models of choice are applied to a wide range of decisions, including the gender division of labor within the family, and the individual's allocation of time between labor market and non-labor market activities, college-going, and family formation. Applications include economic explanations of past and present gender differences in labor force participation, earnings and occupations. Throughout, the pros and cons of various policies designed to reduce gender inequality are debated.
