More than 100 million women are estimated to be “missing” in developing countries in Asia due to sex-selective abortion, female infanticide, or inequality in health care and nutrition.
Development Economists and Professors at the Graduate Institute, Jean-Louis Arcand and Martina Viarengo will provide background information, analysis and insights into future trends for this phenomenon that has been occurring in Asia for several generations.
| Jean-Louis Arcand, Professor at the Institute since 2008, is head of the PhD in Development Economics and Master in Development Studies Programmes. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of African Economies and the Revue d'Economie du Développement, co-editor of the European Journal of Development Research, and Founding Fellow of the European Union Development Network (EUDN). |
Martina Viarengo, Assistant Professor, International Economics joined the Institute in 2011. She is Faculty associate at the Harvard University Center for International Development, at Harvard’s Women and Public Policy Program, and a member of the International Growth Centre in London.
