Are we witnessing a backlash to the progress of gender equality around the world? New research reveals a growing gender gap in attitudes across a range of topics, particularly striking among younger generations. From polarized views on social issues to contrasting expectations regarding marriage and family, this divergence in outlook between genders points to deeper societal fissures. This panel brings together experts to discuss the contours and complexities of this "new gender gap" and explore its ramifications for politics, demography, and societal cohesion.
This panel will feature Joshua R. Goldstein, Professor of Demography and Director of the Berkeley Population Center at UC Berkeley; Xiaoling Shu, Professor of Sociology at UC Davis; and Rachel Bernhard, Associate Professor of Quantitative Political Science Research Methods at Nuffield College and the University of Oxford. Kiera Hudson, Assistant Professor in the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, will moderate.
