Milken Institute Review: Harvard’s Claudia Goldin on Achieving Gender Pay Equality — and More

LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwired – July 16, 2015) – Claudia Goldin, the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University, explains why the gender gap in pay persists in spite of decisive gains in women’s skills and experience. “Like many others, I think convergence is possible,” she writes in the new issue of the Milken Institute’s quarterly journal of economic policy. “However, the solution does not have to involve government intervention, and it does not depend on the improvement of women’s bargaining skills or heightened will to compete.”
