Ayelen Pardo

Ayelen is a graduate student at the Business School at Universidad de San Andres, Argentina, and holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Universidad de Buenos Aires. She is interested in market-based social inclusion initiatives. Particularly, Ayelen is researching business policies and sustainable reporting that favor the inclusion of extremely economically vulnerable people into decent work and the regulatory context that promotes the development of these programs.  

Ayelen conducted research at the Gino Germani Institute related to market functioning of factories recovered by their workers and at the Center for Public Opinion and Social Studies from  Universidad de Buenos Aires. She presented papers on Social Theory at the XII Congress of  Sociology in Argentina and, most recently, at the XXXIII Latin American Congress of  Sociology on the Globalization of the Labor Market and Labor Segregation.  

Ayelen worked for six years at the United States Embassy in Argentina where I formed part of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Council and collaborated with the  U.S. Office of Civil Rights on Equal Employment Opportunities. Additionally, she works as a volunteer in Fundación Multipolar, a non-profit that helps homeless citizens by addressing their immediate needs and including them to the labor market.
