Absztrakt:

Despite the rise of dual-earner households, gendered disparities in domestic labor remain entrenched. This lecture delves into gender inequalities in the household, explaining why they are culturally accepted in our societies, and how hunter-gatherers - our best approximation of human evolutionary past - provide an exception to this norm. Modeling the household as a bargaining problem, we can begin to understand why certain inequalities exist, but also, how they can be avoided. Drawing on research from multiple fields, the talk will explore how external opportunities, societal expectations, and individual biases can be combined for more equitable outcomes.

 

About the presenter
Angarika Deb is a PhD student at CEU, working with the Departments of Cognitive Science and Social Anthropology. Her work explores human coordination, associated inequalities, and perceptions of fairness in a cross-cultural perspective. She has focused on the study of gender inequalities in households as a curious case of humans continuing to find fairness in the face of gross inequalities. Her work crosses disciplinary boundaries of Cognitive Science, Evolutionary Anthropology, Human Behavioral Ecology, Economics, and Sociology.
