So much is great about economics and economists - the new generations are doing (& will do) amazing things!
When I write about women in male-dominated professions, I often get asked whether it matters for men to be in female-dominated jobs like teaching. So I looked into it, and the answer is yes: it benefits students a lot, as does racial diversity.

Tutti gli spostamenti sono vietati se non per comprovate necessità, in tutta Italia. Resta ancora però un'eccessiva flessibilità nel definire le "comprovate necessità lavorative". E così, molte aziende fanno ancora andare tutti in ufficio - con smartworking disponibile!
