An Homage to Claudia Goldin (Gender Pay Gap)

The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded on Monday to Claudia Goldin, a Harvard professor, for her work to advance the world’s understanding of women in the work force. She made history by being the first woman to win the award solo rather than sharing in the prize. To honor her achievement, we discussed our own gender pay gap research that is in part informed by academics like Dr. Goldin, focusing on a new regulation in Japan that mandated companies disclose their pay gap data. And then, after we go through the numbers, we have a special part of this episode where colleagues come on to share their experiences of work before and during motherhood. Host: Mike Disabato, MSCI ESG ResearchGuest: Yukie Shibano, Laura Nishikawa, Gillian Mollod, Siyu Liu, and Linda-Eling Lee, MSCI ESG Research and MSCI Sustainability Institute
