Nobel economics prize awarded to U.S. economist Claudia Goldin for work on women in the labor market

  • Claudia Goldin, an American economic historian, has been awarded this year's Nobel economics prize for her research on women's employment and pay. She discovered the key factors driving the gender pay gap, highlighting the impact of having children as a significant contributor to the earnings difference between men and women.
  • Prof Goldin's pioneering work has shed light on women's labor market outcomes and has vast societal implications. Her studies have covered various topics including the impact of the contraceptive pill on women's career and marriage decisions, women's surnames after marriage, and the reasons for the increasing number of female undergraduates.
  • As the first woman to be tenured at the Harvard economics department and the third woman to win the Nobel economics prize, Prof Goldin's achievements have contributed significantly to our understanding of gender gaps and the barriers that need to be addressed to pave a better path forward.
