How can Goldin's research help close the modern pay gap?
My research highlights that addressing the gender pay gap requires more than just equal pay laws. It necessitates tackling structural issues like the unequal burden of childcare and domestic work, promoting more equitable career paths, and encouraging employers to redesign jobs and work structures to accommodate dual-career families. Policies that support paid family leave, affordable childcare, and flexible work arrangements are crucial for enabling women to achieve full equity in the workplace and at home.
