Short profile:
Francesca Bettio holds a M. Sc. from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Cambridge, UK. She has taught in several Italian universities as well as abroad and is currently Professor of Economics at the University of Siena. Her main areas of expertise are Labour, Gender Economics and Population Economics. Her research interests range from fertility and female labour market issues – including wage differentials, discrimination, and labour market segmentation – to the economic analysis of the family, of care work and, recently, of international female migration. The main, ongoing research projects address the potential conflict between care for the elderly and paid work, women’s labour market participation and taxation, and flows of human trafficking for sexual exploitation. She has a long record of working for international organizations, primarily the European Commission, and is currently Lead Coordinator of the 33 countries ( European Network on Employment and Gender Equality Issues). She serves in the editorial board of socio-economic journals in Italian and in English, and is among the editors and founding members of the portal ‘ingenere’ (www.ingenere.it). Main publications:
