Social Status, Economic Development and Female Labor Force (Non) Participation in India

This lecture is part of a larger series organized by faculty fellows Alejandro Estefan Davila and Heitor Pellegrina entitled "New Frontiers in Economic Development." First organized in 2013, the series focused on microeconomic poverty interventions. The series now focuses on larger-scale economic issues and their impact in developing countries by featuring distinguished economists who deliver a public lecture as well as participate in a master class with graduate-level economics students. The series is cosponsored by the Department of Economics.
