Gender
What it is and why it is important
Gender research investigates how gender influences social structures, economic opportunities, and political dynamics. It also examines how social norms, values, and institutions perpetuate gender inequality.
Our research helps in developing policies and interventions that promote gender equity and inclusion in various sectors of society.
Key research topics in this field include:
- Gender disparities in income, education, and employment.
- The impact of gender on health outcomes and access to resources.
- The role of gender in shaping social and political institutions and policies.
