Congratulations to Philippe Aghion on receiving the Nobel Prize in economics.

A proud moment for Europe and a strong reminder that innovation and openness are the foundations of our shared prosperity.

Philippe’s contributions helped shape Mario Draghi’s vision for European competitiveness.

100% agree. #Childcare is crucial to closing the gender gap in the labour market.

LSE Blogs @lseblogs.bsky.social · Mar 7

#Childcare is at the heart of gender #inequality in the labour market.

But firms can help alleviate the problem and support working mothers through workplace childcare provision.

Gender gaps are reduced in family-friendly workplaces - LSE Business Review

The arrival of children is one of the primary reasons for gender inequalities in the labour market. Anna Raute shares her findings on how firms can help alleviate gender gaps through family-friendly policies. Motherhood causes women to take career interruptions for caregiving, negatively impacting their labour market outcomes—often known as the “child penalty”.

The takeaway? Evidence-based policies can advance the efforts to combat #HumanTrafficking, but we need more #research guided by robust #data and multi-stakeholder consultations.

The takeaway? Economic gaps persist, but some key factors, like discrimination, appear to be decreasing over time. This underscores the need for targeted integration policies. Curious? Read more in the paper: doi.org/10.1093/migration/mnae036 4/5

Conventional methods (e.g., matching and decomposition) may overestimate these disparities. Accounting for selection on unobservables reveals smaller but persistent gaps, which highlights the need for more nuanced estimation approaches. 3/5

Between 2010 and 2014, the asylum population in Switzerland was 7-11% less likely to be employed and to earn 15-19% less than other migrants. Could the way we estimate these gaps be shaping our understanding? Let’s dive deeper. 👇 2/5

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

(Women make up 50% of the 80 academic economists in Dublin but are a far smaller share of this list so far... Help me fix that!)
