Claudia Goldin Becomes First Woman to Receive Nobel Prize in Economics
Today, the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences has been awarded to Claudia Goldin for her groundbreaking work on the gender gap in labor markets. Her work has revealed the economic and social consequences of the gender gap, and has offered valuable insights on how to bridge the gap and create more equitable labor markets. Goldin’s research has demonstrated that the gender gap is persistent, complex and multi-dimensional, and that it can only be tackled through a combination of policies, such as improved access to childcare and paid parental leave. Her innovative research has been instrumental in informing policy makers and has enabled us to create more just and equitable labor markets.
