Gender and the labour market: evidence from experiments

Ghazala Azmat and Barbara Petrongolo

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: Lab experiments are an increasingly valuable tool for understanding differences in how men and women are treated in the labour market. Dr Ghazala Azmat and Professor Barbara Petrongolo explore what has been learned about the extent to which differences in men and women's pay and employment opportunities can be explained by discrimination or by differences in their preferences or productivity.
