Series: Asian Impact: ADB Research in Action Asian Development Policy Lecture - Caren Grown 26 March 2024 Nobel laureate Claudia Goldin showed economic growth did not always increase women’s workforce participation in the United States. Women’s work declined during the transition from agriculture to manufacturing but increased with greater jobs in the service sector.

Asian Development Policy Lecturer Caren Grown discussed the relevance of Professor Goldin’s seminal work on women and labor markets for modern-day developing Asia.
