Joint Purpose
AXA is aware of the relevance of the Gender & Inclusion issue at an international level and invests a big effort and huge resources worldwide; AXA works in partnership with big companies, foundations and Universities in this field. Bocconi University is playing a role on these topics with Paola Profeta’s research activity and she is a point of reference for the company. The new Gender Equality LAB will promote academic research on the topic of gender equality and inclusion, with the purpose of developing rigorous research with well-identified results and clear policy recommendations which will ultimately inform and lead the action of the main actors on the economic and political sphere: workers, firms and policy-makers. Research will be conducted with reference to Italy and to other European countries. The center of the analysis of the LAB is gender equality in the economic, political and social sphere.
