From January to the end of March, 2026, Brenda Adiwijaya is visiting the IAAEU. Brenda is a third-year doctoral student at the Department of Economics at the University of Insubria in Italy. In her dissertation, Brenda analyses the relationship between historical norms and modern-day decision on daycare use. During her stay at the IAAEU she will use German data to investigate the relationship between a women’s decision to join the labour force and childcare availability. We welcome Brenda Adiwijay to the IAAEU and hope that she will enjoy a productive and rewarding stay.
