We are happy to invite you to the research seminar by the Center for Economic Expertise. On March 21st Jose Garcia-Louzao (Bank of Lithuania/VU) will present the topic „Women's Voice at Work and Family-Friendly Firms“ in 417 room and MS Teams.
Brief overview of the seminar
Uneven family responsibilities are at the root of gender gaps. Using a new dataset covering all firm-level agreements signed in Spain between 2010 and 2018, we explore whether the presence of female worker representatives can facilitate the negotiation of family-friendly policies with management. We compare firms that operate under the same set of labor regulations but differ in the presence of women among employee representatives. Our findings suggest that having female representatives at the bargaining table can help transform workplaces to better meet women’s needs and ultimately close the gender gap.
