Inequality in Egyptian Higher Education

Although access to higher education has expanded in many countries, significant gender disparities persist, particularly in contexts shaped by structural inequalities and socio-economic constraints. To what extent do family background and broader social factors continue to limit equal opportunities for women? Join us this month as Dr. Yusra Alkasasbeh, a development economist specializing in gender, education, and inequality of opportunity, explores these critical questions in the context of Egypt.

In her lecture, Dr. Yusra Alkasasbeh examines how family dynamics and structural conditions influence access to higher education, shedding light on the mechanisms that reproduce inequality and the implications for policy and social development.
