Gender-Sensitive Policy for Social and Economic Inclusion

In many countries worldwide, women disproportionately experience barriers to full social and economic inclusion. Despite interest in working and despite potential benefits of accessing financial and digital tools and resources, low labor force participation, digital inclusion, and financial inclusion are pervasive in many low- and middle-income settings. Yale Inclusion Economics (YIE) is looking for one or more research assistants to support work that asks how policy can be designed to give women better access to economic opportunity as well as digital and financial tools and services. Depending on need and interest, the RA will provide support to one or more of the studies in YIE’s gender portfolio.
