Why is there such a lack of diversity in the economics profession? In the UK, only fifteen percent of economics professors are women. In the US, it's even less. The Âé¶¹Éç's Kim Gittleson reports on why women are not choosing a career in economics. Plus, what are the underlying causes of the gender pay gap? Are women not asking for pay rises enough? A study suggests this is not the case. We hear from its author, Dr. Amanda Goodall, a Senior Lecturer at Cass Business School in London. And finally, the Âé¶¹Éç's Rumella Dasgupta reports on everyday sexism in India from filling out forms to fine dining. (Image: Man and woman on a scale, Credit: Getty Images)
