DrSuneha Seetahul

Applied micro-economist specialising in gender, labour markets, and development with over ten years of combined academic and policy experience. My work uses applied microeconometric methods and an interdisciplinary lens to analyse gendered inequalities in labour markets, health, and social protection. I link survey, administrative, and geospatial data to quantify disparities, uncover underlying mechanisms, and generate policy-relevant evidence. I am the quantitative lead for the development of the Gender Equality @ Work Index at the University of Sydney, and my ongoing projects focus on the measurement of gender inequalities, gender norms, climate–gender interactions, and social protection. My research has been published in leading international journals including World Development, Social Science & Medicine, Journal of Development Studies, and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
