We all know that the so-called "glass ceiling" is still very real. Some progress notwithstanding, women are still generally underrepresented and underpaid. Paola Profeta, who teaches Public Economics at Bocconi University where she also leads the AXA Research Lab on Gender Equality, talks about what empirical evidence there is about policies that may help reduce the gender gap. The Covid crisis also shed light on the priorities set by women leaders and preliminary results seem to confirm that women at the top were indeed more successful than men at handling the pandemic. Finally, we should not overlook the fact that diversity has many dimensions, and equality must be sought on all of them.
