18 November 2026 17:00 to 18:30 King's Building, Strand Campus, London 18 Nov Part of King's India Institute Seminar Series The broad brush explanation for all gender gaps is "patriarchal social norms", but when multiple social hierarchies coexist, is it possible that patriarchy is being defined by another hierarchy, which constrains women's outcomes? We study this question in the context of India and show that gender norms improved substantially over two decades (1998-2021), but unevenly across regions and caste groups.
