International Women's Day 2023
On International Women’s Day 2023, we are shining a light on the public value research of women who have recently joined Cardiff Business School…
Their work is making a significant contribution to shaping our understanding of working lives, the circular economy, corporate social responsibility reporting, public economics, and consumer behaviour.
#EmbraceEquity
Professor Rachel Ashworth, Dean of Cardiff Business School writes: “The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day theme – Embrace Equity - prompts us to imagine a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination; a world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. However, the five-year analysis summarised by Chwarae Teg in their latest State of the Nation Report shows us that we still have plenty of work to do to achieve these goals.
While we have made some good progress, women continue to earn less than men, are less likely to be in work, and are more likely to be out of the labour market due to caring responsibilities. And having shouldered significant caring responsibilities during the pandemic, women now find themselves at the sharp end of the cost of living crisis, particularly ethnic minority women, disabled women, and women on low incomes.
Staff and students at Cardiff Business School remain committed to promoting equality as part of our Public Value purpose which means working internally and externally to develop economies, societies, and communities that are inclusive, fair, and sustainable.”
