Despite the continuous stream of advice available on tackling the gender pay gap, from combating harassment to advocating self-worth and negotiating higher compensation, progress in this arena remains frustratingly slow. So, what’s the real culprit behind this persistent disparity?
To delve into the underlying forces driving the gender pay gap, Eleanor is joined by Dr. Claudia Goldin, a leading authority in this field. Dr. Goldin, renowned for her research, is a Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard.

Listen in this week as Dr. Goldin draws from her extensive research spanning decades to highlight why the gender pay gap exists at a deep fundamental level, debunk the prevailing myths about the gender pay gap, and identify the key levers we can activate to change it.
