Sara Hernández-Saborit

Sara Hernández is an Assistant Professor of Instruction in Economics at Northwestern University. Her research lies at the intersection of development and labor economics, with a marked gender component. She is particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms that propel females into the labor force and what the consequences are of doing so for individuals, households, and, by extension, their communities.
