Closing Gender Gaps: The Intergenerational Effects of WWI with Abhay Aneja

In this talk, UC Berkeley professor Abhay Aneja presented how he and co-authors used novel personnel records of the U.S. government to study how exposure to female representation at work can persistently reduce intergenerational gender gaps in labor market outcomes. The authors document substantial city-level variation in the sudden expansion of female employment during World War I, and document that daughters of civil servants exposed to female co-workers are more likely to work later in life. Professor Aneja is a lawyer and quantitative social scientist who studies how legal institutions affect social inequality and development. His areas of interest include the administrative law, the law of democracy, and empirical legal studies.
