Claudia Goldin Wins Nobel in Economics for StudyingWomen in the Work Force

Editor: Zhancheng Liu

· news

Claudia Goldin, a77-year-old Harvard professor, has been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her groundbreaking work on women's progress in the workforce. She is the third woman to receive the economics Nobel and the first to be
honored with it individually, rather than as a shared prize.

The Nobel Committeepraised Goldin for her research on female employment, highlighting her findings that women's employment decreased in the 1800s as economies shifted away from agriculture and toward industry. In the 1900s, women's participation in the labor force increased as the service sector expanded. Goldin's work also emphasized the importance of the 1970s as a transformative period when women in the United States delayed marriage, pursued higher education, and made significant progress in the job market. Access to birth control played a crucial role in this shift.

Furthermore, Goldin'sresearch showed that the gender wage gap has persisted, with most of the earnings difference occurring between men and women in the same jobs, particularly after the birth of a woman's first child.

In response to winningthe Nobel Prize, Goldin expressed the hope that people would recognize the significance of long-term changes in understanding the labor market. She
emphasized the importance of achieving gender equality and "couple equity," acknowledging that societal and family structures play a significant role in shaping economic outcomes.

Goldin's work has hada lasting impact on the field of labor economics and has inspired future generations of researchers. She has been a mentor to many women entering the
field of economics, serving as a source of inspiration and demonstrating the possibilities of success in a predominantly male-dominated profession.

Her colleagues andstudents have praised her work as profoundly influential in labor economics, and her research continues to inspire current work in the field, particularly
in understanding the complex interactions between marriage, contraception, and labor market decisions over time. Goldin's recognition by the Nobel Committee marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of gender diversity and equality in economics.
