Claudia Goldin’s Nobel is a win for women and men
The first solo female recipient of the economics prize has blazed a trail by identifying the obstacles to gender equality – and how to overcome them
WOMEN have immense potential to make the entire world more prosperous – yet despite decades of progress, that potential is yet to be fully realised.
Harvard Professor Claudia Goldin has spent her career illuminating not only the obstacles that women face, but also how to overcome them. For these efforts, she is the richly deserving winner of the 2023 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics.
Goldin is a trailblazer on multiple levels. Of the 93 economic laureates since the prize’s inception in 1969, she’s only the third woman (and the first to be recognised solo, without co-recipients).
