Hiring Processes and Gender Roles
Abstract
Gender inequality is a historical phenomenon that is reflected in the labor market through wage gaps and biases in hiring and evaluation processes that perpetuate these disparities. Behavioral Economics provides key tools to understand the differences in decision-making between men and women, influenced by our context and gender socialization, which shape expectations and behaviors. This article analyzes how traditional gender roles affect decision-making and deepen economic inequality between genders, making the case for how Behavioral Economics can help reduce this gap and transform labor dynamics.
