Overview

Claudia Goldin, premio Nobel y conocida como «la detective de la economía», arroja una nueva luz sobre la brecha de género.

Existe una ingente cantidad de datos históricos disponibles sobre la incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral, pero nadie antes de Claudia Goldin se había detenido a analizarlos en profundidad. Los resultados de esta investigación pionera, realizada durante décadas y basada en información que se remonta a hace más de un siglo, dan lugar a un nuevo relato, revelador y muy ameno, de nuestro viaje hacia la equidad y de los orígenes de la gran brecha que aún impide a muchas mujeres desempeñar su trabajo en igualdad de condiciones con respecto a los hombres.
 
¿Por qué parece que apenas han cambiado las cosas en cien años?
 
Con un enfoque riguroso, pero también elegante y personal, Goldin nos acerca a las distintas generaciones de mujeres que se han enfrentado al problema de conciliar carrera y familia y demuestra cómo estas se han visto desfavorecidas en el mundo laboral y por qué la verdadera equidad para las parejas trabajadoras sigue siendo una aspiración constantemente frustrada. Promulgar leyes contra la discriminación y hacer todo lo posible por eliminar los estereotipos de género son pasos importantes, pero no suficientes. Si queremos alcanzar la igualdad de género y la equidad entre profesionales, primero debemos introducir cambios sustanciales en la forma de concebir el trabajo. Entre las aportaciones de Goldin destaca la idea de que la propia participación laboral femenina modifica la naturaleza del trabajo.
 
Este libro de referencia no solo ofrece un sólido diagnóstico, sino que, combinando perspectiva histórica y una lúcida visión de la actualidad, también proporciona las claves para el cambio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics

A renowned economic historian traces women’s journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at home


A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.

Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are “greedy,” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic’s silver lining.

Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.
