Giulia's research interests are in gender inequality and the labor market. She focuses on the power dynamics which shape the inequalities between genders, while also questioning the role of gender norms in influencing people's life and wellbeing. Her research explores how teenagers might be uniquely affected by gender norms and expectations, and how these can influence their career aspirations. Giulia's research focuses on the Italian context, in which she explores how art can be analyzed to understand gender division of labor and the limits it imposes on women specifically. Additionally, she looks at the role of financial literacy for gender equality, focusing on its influence on teenagers. Recently, she has been designing a gamified survey for data collection.
