The number of women in the field of economics in Australia is disproportionally low. How can we address this issue and encourage more women to work in this sector? And what are the consequences if we don’t?

In this latest episode we’re joined by Cherelle Murphy, Chief Economist at Austrade, and Dr Leonora Risse, Senior Lecturer in Economics at RMIT University and National Chair of the Women in Economics Network. They discuss:

• Creating a career in economics.
• Improving gender equality in economics in the public sector.
• Applying the ‘gender lens’ on economic analysis and policy design.
• The future of women in economics.
