Economics of the family

Research questions

“Work on women’s work is never done” was the title of a session at the 2013 American Economic Society’s meeting that might serve as a heading for any research project on family and gender economics. The questions addressed here are no exception.

This ongoing project deals with questions of family organisation and female labour participation in developed as well as developing societies.
