Almudena Sevilla is Senior Lecturer in Economics at the School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London, and fellow of the Centre of Time Use Research at the University of Oxford where she was previously Senior Research Fellow. She has also held positions at the University of Essex Institute for Social and Economic Research and the Congressional Budget Office in Washington DC. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University in 2004 in the fields of family and population economics and econometrics. She teaches courses in these areas at the Graduate and Undergraduate Level.
Almudena's research focuses on the specialization at home as a key to understanding inequality in the labor market. Her research generally uses time diary data, which collects information on respondent's activities for a 24hour period. She has worked extensively on the socio-economic determinants of the unequal division of household chores and caring responsibilities between men and women, as well as on the consequences. Her work consistently has shown that women in households with a more unequal division of home labor work less in the market, have a lower hourly wage, and have fewer children than women in more egalitarian households. She is currently involved in investigating the gender implications of economic policy and management practices. Particularly she is looking at the effects of public service cuts on the balance between unpaid adult care and employment, and the potential for flexible working to increase couples' ability to coordinate their work schedules. She is a member of the Women's Budget Group, a think tank that advises the government, especially the Treasury, on the gender implications of its economic policies.
She joined IZA as a Research Fellow in May 2012. |
