CORE 003 SC - Women’s Rights: Does it Matter?

Women’s Rights is an issue that many of us are passionate about. But do these rights even matter? Would the absence of these right make women worse off? Until recently, even in developed countries, women could not own property, acquire credit, have control over their own bodies, vote, or legally end a marriage. In this course, we will explore the expansion of some of the major changes that have empowered women and study the direct and indirect impact of these changes through an economic lens. We will also carefully analyze data to examine the changes in the gender gap in the United States over time.
