Looking for some compelling beach reading? This month we’ve compiled a list of recent prominent papers that we’ve been itching to dig into all year. The papers listed below touch on issues related to women in the workforce, and some specifically address women in economics. Taken together, these papers illustrate the breadth of recent work explaining gendered outcomes in the labor force and demonstrate the many channels that may contribute to the gender earnings gap. For each paper we've included a brief summary, and for the CSWEP Annual Report we’ve highlighted the key takeaways. Happy reading! Can Women Have Children and a Career?
