Seminar : "Health crisis, lockdown and gender inequalities in the workplace" (February 5)

Seminar on Friday, February 5, 2021, 9:30am-12:00pm

How can we measure the impact of the health crisis linked to the Covid-19 Coronavirus on gender inequalities? While this crisis is not yet over and its long-term consequences are not yet measurable, the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policy and Sciences Po's Research and Educational Programme on Gender Studies are organizing a seminar on the consequences of this health crisis and periods of lockdown on gender inequalities.

Economists, legal experts, and sociologists will present and discuss the findings of their latest research on two themes: the distribution of domestic and family tasks in times of lockdown, and the impact of the health crisis on inequalities at work.
