The 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for her research on gender disparities in the workforce, AP News reports.
Goldin’s work helps explain why women around the world are less likely to work and earn less money than men.
She conducted research on 200 years of labor market data to examine the factors influencing women’s participation in the workforce, their career choices, and the gender pay gap.
Goldin’s research has revealed that women’s career decisions and family circumstances play a significant role in these disparities.
She emphasizes the need for more support for women in balancing work and family responsibilities to achieve gender equality.
