    Is Pakistan becoming more Patriarchal?

    Is Pakistan becoming more Patriarchal?

    Over the 20th century, the entire world became more gender equal. Or so I thought. But Pakistan has rocked my priors. Female employment has slightly risen. Meanwhile, young Pakistani women are more sexist than their grandmothers. What is going on?

    Charts and graphs are on my Substack: https://www.ggd.world/p/is-pakistan-becoming-more-patriarchal

Great podcast for economists/economic historians

I really enjoy the podcast! I think it fills a hole in the overall podcast landscape.

Only one complaint: I would love to see you guys link to every paper you guys mention throughout so that the audience can look at them as well. Otherwise wonderful podcast!

magzpavz ,

interesting podcast, well presented

My only complaint is that the speakers microphone often clips when she gets loud and the dynamic range in general can make it hard to set my headphones to the right volume.
Thanks!
