Why Women Won
Newspeak House Fellow Viktor Veterinarov, economist and researcher at the LSE Hub of Equal Representation, will give a talk about Claudia Goldin, this year's Nobel Laureate in economics for her research on how to think about women’s victories and what challenges remain.
We will go together through the U-shaped path from the agricultural era to the modern labour market focusing on the role of education and contraceptive pills in the revolutionary changes of female participation in the labour market.
We will also discuss the current inequality drivers, especially, how the birth of the first child is still the main source of the gender gap and what are the ways to shift the current bad equilibrium.
Attendees are welcome to join us for dinner at Ration Club before and after the talk.
