Nidhiya Menon, Ph.D. : Gender and Conflict in Nepal: Testing for “Added Worker” Effects

In this presentation, Nidhiya Menon, Ph.D., will discuss a study of the “added worker effect,” examining how Nepal’s 1996-2006 civil war affected women’s decisions to engage in employment. Results indicate that with the displacement of male workers as a result of the communist-led insurgency, women’s employment probabilities were substantially higher in 2001 and 2006 relative to the outbreak of war in 1996. Menon is a Senior Research Scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women and Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and International Business School at Brandeis University.

WCW Lunchtime Seminar Series

    • Wellesley Centers for Women (WCW) scholars offer seminar and panel presentations during which they share their work with other scholars and the general public. The WCW Lunchtime Seminar Series, for example, offers residents and visitors to the Greater Boston area the opportunity to hear, in person, about work by WCW researchers and program staff. Other special events bring these researchers and program staff into communities for special presentations to the Centers' many constituents.

    • Recordings of some past lunchtime seminars and other special events may be heard by clicking on the links below. You may need to adjust the volume when playing an audio file on your computer.

    • Please note that data and background information cited in these presentations were current for the date of the presentation but should not necessarily be considered the most current research on the related issues today.

  • The Wellesley Centers for Women Lunchtime Seminar Series is made possible by support from The Cowles/Sulzberger Fund, an endowed gift to the Wellesley Centers for Women.
