520 - Special Session. Gender Equality at Work: Persistent Barriers and Potential Solutions

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

Progress towards gender equality in paid work has stalled in recent years.  The convergence of the gender gap in wages has been slow, women's advancement into top leadership positions has remained low, and the gender segregation of jobs and college majors has remained relatively constant.  What are the barriers to gender equality? What policies and organizational changes might jump start progress to equality? Panelists will discuss recent research that illuminates both barriers and also potential solutions.
