For students

In this interview with economics student Joanna Bleakley from the University of Melbourne Women in Economics Student Society, it was a pleasure to share some reflections on what inspired me to pursue a career in economics and the advice would I give to young people contemplating a career in economics. I hope my reflections help inform and inspire students in your own study choices and career paths. 🔗

In this online booklet, What is economics all about? And where can it take you?, answers many of the queries that students have when navigating their study and career options. The insights are drawn from research and evidence on the factors that matter for students’ vocational decisions, complemented by the personal experiences of economists working in the profession. 🔗

The Women in Economics Network offers an excellent suite of other resources to help inform and inspire students. 🔗
