Meiying Li is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Southern California.

Her dissertation examines 1) the linkage between occupational sex segregation and gender wage inequality in the economically polarized, post-2000 labor market, and 2) how family policies has affected the gender inequality.
