The Women in Economics Network (WEN) was formed to promote and support the careers in female economists in Australia. The network's activities contribute towards creating a more gender balanced and inclusive economics profession that reflects the diversity of wider society. WEN was officially launched on 20 March 2017 with the support of the Economic Society of Australia. The network has established branches in each State and Territory, and a program of national initiatives and events.
The Society welcomes young economists, being keen to foster academic pursuits and the future of its own membership. In this regard, young economists have special events and are offered discounted membership.
The ESA Register lists members with expertise in certain fields of economics for media and public speaking engagements, as well as research expertise. If you are specifically looking for a female commentator, please visit our WEN register website.
We have developed a register for those that are interested in speaking at schools to encourage the study of economics.
