What are “greedy jobs” and why do women avoid them?

The Nobel Prize in Economics, a historically male-dominated affair, was this year awarded to the American economist Claudia Goldin. As Professor Goldin is being honoured for her ground-breaking work on women in the labour market, the 2023 award is a double recognition for women. This is a topic that has been at the heart of socio-economic discussions for many years, and one that the Bank has regularly addressed. Professor Goldin's research notably sheds light on how motherhood contributes to the gender pay gap.
