Despite rising educational attainment, women’s employment rates have declined in Egypt, falling to just 15% as of 2023. This chapter explores the determinants of declining female employment rates in Egypt. The research considers demand side factors, including potential discrimination and the changing structure of the economy, as well as supply side factors, such as gender norms, domestic responsibilities, and education mismatch. Analyses illustrate trends in women’s employment and review the rich literature on drivers of women’s employment in Egypt. A particular focus is how the policy environment shapes both supply and demand for women’s labor. While women have become increasingly educated, restrictive gender norms and disproportionate care responsibilities limit what types of employment they can accept. Those types of jobs have become decreasingly available since structural reform curtailed public sector hiring. The private sector has not created sufficient “women-friendly” employment. Policy and programmatic interventions that try to increase women’s employment will have to either create woman-friendly jobs or shift gender norms that restrict women’s employment.

📣 "Why are women’s employment rates declining in Egypt?" New GLO working paper! Explores demand side, incl. potential discrimination & the changing structure of the economy, & supply side, incl. gender norms, domestic responsibilities, & education mismatch. #EconSky

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Believe in your work. Stop ending papers with “More research is needed” and start concluding with “No more research on this topic is needed.”

Credit where it's due: Google Gemini excels at turning my back-of-napkin sketches of graphs into nice images. A great resource for writing exam questions.

Good perspective for when I get frustrated with my students. Could be worse.

Lovely essay about the disparities between schools in India and the US, and the challenges of female teachers, by an Indian Fulbright Scholar

Is there an alumni group for IES-funded PhD’s?

IES supposedly funded over 1000 PhDs, of which I am apparently one of the last. With the training grants dying, it’d be great to have a formal alumni network where we could share jobs, grant opportunities, etc.

LLMs will usher in a democratization of intellect. Now you too can have a junior (AI) scholar that you can blame for errors and fraud. Previously, only the top scholars had access to that kind of power.

This is the kind of thing the internet was made for

There should be a HOF for players with names that double as phrases. I nominate Early Wynn.

Is Claude or ChatGPT better at writing the part of the roadmap that says the last section of the paper will conclude?

This should be a front-page scandal.
