Launching our New Exhibition

What Choices Do the Next Generation of Workers Face?
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest Project of Economica, Young Women Speaking the Economy! Each month we’ll be showcasing revealing content from the exhibition creators, 44 young women from Denmark, Sudan, the Philippines, and the United States. We’re kicking things off with stories from Young Women Speaking the Economy about Choices.

Questions about what jobs to choose, how to balance a career and family, or how to make ends meet in tough economic times, all loom large.
