The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century. That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world. Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most European nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1900, the U.S. had begun to educate its masses at the secondary level, not just in the primary schools that had remarkable success in the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Race between Education and Technology\u003c\/em\u003e argues that technological change, education, and inequality have been involved in a kind of race. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boosting income for most people and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since about 1980. This educational slow-down was accompanied by rising inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603266355436,"sku":"9780674035300","price":83.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674035300-the-race-between-education-and-technology.jpg?v=1778059239"},{"product_id":"career-and-family-by-claudia-goldin-9780691228662","title":"Career and Family","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWinner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 both 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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, perpetuating 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAntidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. \u003cem\u003eCareer and Family\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605171486956,"sku":"9780691228662","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691228662-career-and-family.jpg?v=1778126066"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/claudia-goldin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
