The goal of this workshop was to explore ways to advance the integration of gender into economic analyses in order to promote inclusive development and policymaking. This workshop provided a forum for scholars, academics, and policymakers to debate, discuss, and integrate the role of gender inequality in evaluating labor market dynamics, macroeconomic outcomes, and economic policies, with an overarching objective of discussing the methodological pluralism of feminist economics. There are multiple dimensions of gender inequality that intersect with other forms of inequality-such as social class, ethnicity, race, and nationality-to affect economic processes, outcomes, and policies. We sought contributions with strong theoretical, modeling, and/or empirical components to address these interconnections and we welcome research that applies a feminist lens to a broad range of topics in micro- and macroeconomics, cutting across local and global geographies.
