Hi! I am Dyah Pritadrajati (I go by Prita, pronounced Pree-tah), a PhD candidate in Economics at the Arndt–Corden Department of Economics, Australian National University. My research lies in labour and family economics, with a focus on gender, education, and social protection. I was a Fox International Fellow at Yale University (2024–25) and hold the ANU International Postgraduate Research Scholarship and HDR Merit Award. I am also a recipient of the PAFTAD Fellowship for Young Scholars. My work has been published in Labour Economics, Economic Analysis and Policy, and the Asian Development Review.

I received an MPhil in Economics from the University of Cambridge (UK) as a Jardine Foundation Scholar and an MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford (UK) with support from the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP). I completed my undergraduate degree in Economics at Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), graduating as Valedictorian and as one of the university’s Most Outstanding Students.

I am on the job market in the 2025–26 cycle (CV). 

My Job Market Paper examines how mothers’ labour supply and household behaviour adjust when childcare relief is partial. A short overview of the paper was featured on the World Bank’s Development Impact blog.
