The Women in Economics Network (WEN) was formed in 2017 to promote and support the careers of female economists in Australia.
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.
