Very interesting work on changing gender attitudes! Regressive and discriminatory gender norms have established negative social and economic impacts. Very important to understand how we can reshape these norms. Congratulations @Hyderabadi_chai @seema_econ @diva_dhar
Delighted my paper "Reshaping Adolescents Gender Attitudes: Evidence from a School-based Experiment in India" w @diva_dhar & @seema_econ is forthcoming at the American Economic Review @AEAjournals!
