This session will discuss the real economic forces that make it difficult for working women (especially moms) to feel like they can "have it all," using data from Professor Corinne Low's research. We'll talk about how women optimize in a world that just isn't set up to support the reality of household and market labor, the mistakes we sometimes make for love (of our families and our jobs), and what it would mean to stop gaslighting women that they can just work harder and instead start actually changing things.

This Wharton Webinar Series is powered by The Wharton Fund and is exclusively available to Wharton alumni with PennKey login credentials.

About Corinne Low
Corinne Low is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School, specializing in labor and development economics. Her research brings together applied microeconomic theory with lab and field experiments to understand the determinants of who gets how much across gender and age lines. Current ongoing projects focus on a new technology to examine hiring discrimination, the tradeoff women make between career and family in the US, and the impact of teaching girls negotiation skills in Zambia.

Corinne received her PhD in economics from Columbia University and her undergraduate degree in economics and public policy from Duke University, after which she worked as a consultant for McKinsey and Co. At Wharton, Corinne teaches Managerial Economics in the MBA program.
