Olga Gorodetskaya is a research fellow at the Research Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies (FBK-IRVAPP). She holds a PhD in Sociology and Social Research from the University of Trento (Italy), with a thesis on gender inequality in Italian academia.

During her PhD, her research focused on the interrelationship between career progression and fertility behavior in academia. Alongside her thesis, she contributed as a researcher to the project “Parenting in Academia.” Additionally, she worked as a teaching assistant for the Quantitative Research Methods course and spent three months as a visiting researcher at Centre LIVES (Swiss Centre of Expertise in Life Course Research) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Her primary research interests focus on gender inequalities in the labor market, particularly from a life-cycle perspective, exploring the intersection of family and career domains. More recently, her interest has expanded to family policies, education, and new challenges linked to the rise of AI and its impact on social inequalities, particularly in education and employment. She is passionate about quantitative analysis and empirical survey methodology.
