The 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to American Claudia Goldin for her research on the situation of women in the labor market. The Nobel Committee reported it.

Her research explains that the number of married women in work decreased with the transition from agrarian to industrial society in the early 19th century, but then began to increase with the growth of the service sector in early 20th century. Goldin explains this pattern as the result of structural changes and the development of social norms regarding women’s responsibilities in the home and family.
