The Master of Science and Doctoral Program of FEB UGM held a workshop lecture from the Faculty of Economics and Business UGM on May 17, 2024. This event invited Prof. Elena Stancanelli who is the Research Director of Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) from Paris School of Economics as the main speaker. The topic discussed at this workshop lecture was “Work from Home, Productivity, and Household Time Allocation.” This event was officially opened by Dea Yustisia, S.E., M.Sc. as a Lecturer at the Department of Economics FEB UGM.
The workshop lecture was held out offline at 08.30-11.00 WIB in Lippo Room, 2nd Floor of the Master of Science and Doctoral Building FEB UGM.
The lecture began with a brief introduction by Prof. Elena Stancanelli. She delved into articles highlighting various concepts of work from home and related gender issues. One of her points was to explain the challenges faced by married women in entering the workforce due to restrictions and household responsibilities. She emphasized that social expectations often put additional pressure on women to prioritize their domestic roles over their professional careers. Prof. Elena Stancanelli also stressed the importance of gender equality in housework and providing fairer opportunities for women in the workplace. With the support and cooperation of their partners, as well as understanding from society, women can have more freedom to develop and contribute fully in their chosen fields.
In addition, Prof. Elena Stancanelli shared tips on how to balance productivity and household responsibilities through work-from-home-friendly online job postings. She also provided flexible ways to manage work with good time allocation in between presentations. Not to be missed, participants actively asked questions and engaged in discussions during the Q&A session, which concluded with an award ceremony and a group photo.
