Empowering Women Through Research

Despite the continuous progress of women in education and the labor market, they are still underrepresented in decision-making positions. Similarly, their representation within national parliaments is still well below 50%. Narrowing this gap is only possible through appropriate policy actions, which in turn can only be successful if they are underpinned by rigorous research on the real causes of gender inequalities.
With this purpose, the AXA Research Lab on Gender Equality, to which AXA recently confirmed its support until 2026, was established in 2020 at Bocconi.
