Recap: A Path to Inclusive Development, A Levy Institute Workshop in Gender Studies
On September 11–13, the Levy Institute, with generous support from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, convened A Path to Inclusive Development: Unpacking Gender Inequalities in Economic Theory and Policies. This was the fifth workshop in a series that began in 2016 exploring the integration of gender into economic analysis. Gathering 40 speakers from 17 countries, with an emphasis on participation by young scholars and scholars from the global south, the workshop aimed to provide a forum for investigating and debating the interactions between multiple dimensions of gender inequality and economic processes, outcomes, and policies—guided by engagement with alternative theoretical frameworks explored by feminist economics and with an eye to identifying and addressing the limitations of prevailing empirical measures, showcasing the Levy Institute’s innovative methodologies on gender, poverty, and well-being. Featuring a keynote by Jayati Ghosh and a policy roundtable with experts from the ILO, UNDP, World Bank, and the Center for Global Development, the workshop was organized in memory of Nilüfer Çağatay.
