The 2023 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to the American economist Claudia Goldin (born 1946) "for having advanced our understanding of women's labour market outcomes."[2][3][4] At age 77, she became the third woman to have won the economics Nobel, which was first awarded in 1969, and the first woman to win the award solo.[3][5] The pressed release of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted:
"This year’s Laureate in the Economic Sciences, Claudia Goldin, provided the first comprehensive account of women’s earnings and labour market participation through the centuries. Her research reveals the causes of change, as well as the main sources of the remaining gender gap."[6]
Goldin's key contribution to economics was her vast analysis of historical experience of women in the economy, especially on women's work and labor market outcomes as well as the root causes of the gender pay gap.[3][4]
