Claudia Goldin, whose work shed light on the gender gap in pay, is just the third woman out of 93 economics laureates to win the Nobel.
The Nobel economics prize was awarded Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender gap in the labor market.The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee's own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates.
In Goldin's analysis, a woman's role in the job market and the pay she receives aren't influenced just by broad social and economic changes. They also are determined partly by her individual decisions about, for example, how much education to get.Often young girls make decisions about future work by looking at their own mother's participation, each generation 'learning from the successes and failures of the preceding generation,' Hjalmarsson said.
