A win for women in the workplace

Harvard professor Claudia Goldin won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday for advancing the world’s understanding of women’s progress in the workplace. She is the third woman laureate in economics and the first woman to win the prize solo. Goldin’s discoveries have brought to light the barriers that need to be addressed to make meaningful progress toward gender parity—a topic covered extensively in Women in the Workplace 2023, a recently released report by McKinsey’s Emily Field, Alexis Krivkovich, Lareina Yee, and coauthors, in partnership with LeanIn.Org. Dive into this year’s findings to uncover the realities about women’s experiences in the workplace today, and check out other insights on why it's crucial to empower women across industries and regions.
