By trawling through the archives and compiling and correcting historical data, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has been able to present new and often surprising facts. She has also given us a deeper understanding of the factors that affect women’s opportunities in the labour market and how much their work has been in demand.
The fact that women’s choices have often been, and remain, limited by marriage and responsibility for the home and family is at the heart of her analyses and explanatory models. Goldin’s studies have also taught us that change takes time, because choices that affect entire careers are based on expectations that may later prove to be false.
Her insights reach far outside the borders of the US and similar patterns have been observed in many other countries. Her research brings us a better understanding of the labour markets of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I have seen dozens of musicals in my life. But the new version of #Starmania I saw yesterday in Brussels is possibly the best scenography I have ever seen. Simply 🤯
AU STADE AVEC… ces supporters qui choisissent un club de foot amateur au hasard et débarquent à 100 pour mettre une ambiance de folie. 🔥
On est allé au stade avec les Super-Kop-Ter.
