believed to reduce their chances of being married by nearly 15 percent by age 30.

While most diversity training raises awareness, research shows it rarely changes behavior. A large-scale field experiment in a global tech firm, demonstrates how behaviorally designed training can transform hiring diversity. @cansin_arslan #WISPPRH linkedin.com/company/science…
Occupational gender segregation plays an increasingly significant role in the wage gap for recent cohorts, underscoring the need for policies addressing workplace inequalities @FrancescaFolia1 @Sevilla_Almu sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
While the overall gender wage gap among young British adults decreased between 1972 and 2015, it doubled among graduates, highlighting persistent disparities in higher education sectors. @FrancescaFolia1 @Sevilla_Almu sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
"We can correct past discrimination with affirmative action policies without hurting academic quality," concludes Valentina Contreras in her study on engineering in Chile. More women, lower dropout rates, and better collaborative performance. 👩🎓⚙️ #STEM valentinacontreras.com/resea…
