thank you so much for coming on the show. so thank you for having me. so i mean, if you would have to summarize claudio golden, single most impactful idea, how would you summarize it from yours? i think her biggest idea is to use the power of the economics theory and data to understand the pollution off women's participation in the labor market. in particular, under us, over the last 200 years and how influential have her ideas, her work been for economics as a discipline. i basically enormously influential and so the awards i'm today is i'm originally richly deserved, and she has won many awards in the past. and so if these i'm also here today, my capacity is i'm the head of i z a, a german labor economics institute and we awarded her, um our, i see

a price in liver economics in 2016. so i think the profession as a whole have been expecting that's called the golden wood. at some point. we didn't know about price for her past breaking and trailblazing work. and i am. so it's a very happy day for the labor economics community. the economic history community and all those who are interested in one economic sense to contribute to the real world. speaking about the real world, if we move outside of the economic discipline, how can her work be influential for everyday people? concretely is mostly for work. it's and that's the beauty of study, your social science, like economics, it's very concrete in terms of its applications for our everyday life. so she studies the reasons why women still do not participate to the same extent as men in the labor market. why they're still a persistent earnings gap between men and women. and so her work, you know,

clarifies some misconceptions and clears up some misconceptions about why that is and shows us directions into what are the actual factors. but even today in 2023 in many of many countries in the us also in europe and around the world, they are pretty large gaps. and part of for work shows that large gaps in they have a market participation. earnings between men and women emerge after the 1st child is born. that's when the trajectories into a way diverge between men and women. and um, she particularly shows the role that labor market flexibility. so the ability to work flexible hours or have, you know, some autonomy over one schedule or an important factor or the next there off the women to participate, not as much in the labor market and particular once they are, if and when they have a, i've had a child that was simon uga,

mit economist the international monetary fund and the world bank are currently holding their annual meeting in the moroccan capital, marrakech one of the most pressing issues will be providing economic support to countries with by natural disaster is a topic that's certainly front of mind for the host country as well. rocco is struggling with a water crisis. the country has suffered 5 consecutive years of droughts. now, cutting edge irrigation technologies are helping to reduce water waste loans, worth billions of dollars provided by the world bank are helping to fund the technology motor car has to deal with the fact that it has less and less for time to do color region in northwest is actually a rich and fat type, but the climate change has led to less rain for you know, culture. we used to use irrigation techniques based on water canals. now the canals

don't work anymore. as too much water is wasted, not with the help of modern navigation techniques like 3 per negation, almost none is waste. the boat bank initiated the project into the color region in 2009 with drip irrigation. the water slips into the saw him as close as possible to the roots of trucks. the project into color is worth the equivalent of some $158000000.00 to farmers taking part in the project to take out to low interest loan. like, you know, more savvy. this technology is expensive, but it's worth it because it gives us large holding production. when we still relying on tradition area, gratian beach field was 40 or 50 ton, and as i've to introducing drip irrigation, the yield reached a 100. 220 tons packets or send me your sample box model co is one of many countries that rely on october should irrigation in the country is mocked and blue

between 20 and 50 percent of farm lands is irrigated. more than half of these areas in reds are irrigated, especially a nation worldwide, 20 percent of farm land is artificially irrigated. so this plan produces 40 percent of the words to maintain irrigation technology in the middle east and north africa . $17000000000.00 must be arise and huge costs. now, thanks. the irrigation farmers are drawing other crops that use more water. this is meant with criticism. i'm sure do you have that i of shopping. i am not going to be . i give you the agriculture on project to morocco need to be reconsidered in general. less than that they have. the ela is that we can use up our basic water resources to real cross sport x, forward me a little out and like watermelon. and i have a condo, it, which are not the staple foods look believe. when i, for the behavior,

we need to grow the prompts that contribute to our forensic here right now. well, because the middle east of north africa region is especially threatened by hunger due to view crane more close. yeah, but how about going to visit him? i'm the one that they go even with the drip irrigation agricultural remains. motor cars, biggest water consumer, bronze water supplies are becoming costs are. so modern navigation technology and broadband project are only temporary solutions for motor cars, farming industry. besides the african continent, international lenders will also focus on ukraine. the russian invasion has exacted a heavy total on the countries economy and decimated the private sector. at least 5000000 jobs have been lost since the start of the war. according to the ukrainian ministry of the economy, the country now face has a 15 year set back in its poverty reduction goals. reviving the ukrainian private sector has become one of the focuses of the international finance corporation,
