The Women in Economics Network (WEN) was formed in 2017 to promote and support the careers of female economists in Australia. While our mission focuses on advancing women in the economics profession, the network is open to everyone - women and all who support gender equity and greater diversity in economics.
The objectives for the Women in Economics Network are to:
professionally connect and support the career development of women in economics
increase the representation of women at all levels of the economics profession
promote public contributions by female economists
encourage young women to study economics
WEN is affiliated with the Economic Society of Australia.
Membership of the Economics Society and the WEN is open to anyone with an interest in economics including economists and other professionals in academia, government, business and teaching.
People can join the WEN by becoming members of their local branch of the Economics Society of Australia.
