A Conversation with Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Claudia Goldin

Join us December 4 at Boston University’s Center for Computing & Data Sciences (17th floor) for a conversation with Nobel-Prize winning economist Claudia Goldin and Boston Women’s Workforce Council (BWWC) Co-Chair Cathy Minehan. In her research, Goldin has highlighted how and why wage gaps and employment differences have persisted over the years in the United States as the result of structural change and evolving social norms. Women are now at the center of the world's economies, yet their earnings relative to men remain behind, even more so for women of color.

During this discussion, we aim to explore: What accounts for these remaining gaps in earnings, now that so many of the determinants of earnings such as experience or education levels, are the same for men and women?

The Conference will include:

• A fireside chat with Claudia Goldin and Cathy Minehan
• Overview of the Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act
• Lunch and networking

The Effective Practices Conference is free of charge to employers. Space is limited.
