'"This year's Laureate in the Economic Sciences, Claudia Goldin, provided the first comprehensive account of women's earnings and labour market participation through the centuries," the prize-giving body said in a statement.
"Her research reveals the causes of change, as well as the main sources of the remaining gender gap."
Her research found that married women started to work less after the arrival of industrialisation in the 1800s, but their employment picked up again in the 1900s as the service economy grew.
Higher educational levels for women and the contraceptive pill accelerated change, but the gender pay gap remained.
While historically that earnings difference between men and women could be blamed on educational choices made at a young age and career choices, Prof Goldin found that the current earnings gap was now largely due to the impact of having children.'

It's not a fucking 'gender' gap, it's a gap that exists because of women's sexed bodies.

Yes but sex pay gap sounds weird so I sort of understand why they call it a gender pay gap. 10 years ago it would have meant exactly the same thing
