A gender bias expert, Kim Elsesser, Ph.D., is the author of Sex and the Office, and she taught classes on gender at UCLA for eight years. She is a senior contributor for Forbes and has published in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
... Harvard professor Claudia Goldin was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics this morning for her research on women at work. She became the third woman in history to win the prize after Elinor Ostrom in 2009 and Esther Duflo in 2019.
Instead, her research suggests that the earnings difference can be blamed, at least partially, on motherhood. In oneof MBA students, Goldin and a fellow researcher found that men far outearn their female counterparts a decade after they graduate from business school. The disparities in income were predominantly tied to women’s career interruptions and a reduction in weekly work hours linked to the birth of a child.
Goldin’s research also suggests that sex bias plays a role in the gender pay gap. For example, one of her most fascinatingshed light on how symphony orchestras saw a significant reduction in gender bias when they implemented blind auditions. Using data from actual auditions, she and her coauthor found that using a screen to conceal the musician’s identity resulted in the hiring of more women.
