2023年诺贝尔经济学奖颁给了克劳迪娅·戈尔丁,以表彰她对女性劳动力市场的研究。本期节目的初衷,是想介绍戈尔丁对于“薪酬性别不平等”问题的研究,毕竟这事关每一个劳动者。但介绍数据和理论可能会有些枯燥,我们选择通过戈尔丁评论过的一个真实故事来探讨一个话题:1973年的“性别之战”。这是一场网球比赛,准确地说是历史上观看人数最多的网球比赛之一,全球有9000多万人观看了电视直播。对阵双方是当时最伟大的女子网球运动员、29岁的比利·简·金和拿过温网冠军的55岁退役男运动员鲍比·里格斯。这是一场充满娱乐元素的表演赛,但在各条河流的汇聚之下,这场比赛成为了当时女子网球运动员争取薪酬等职业权益的一个标志,甚至成为了当时美国女性解放运动的一大象征。今年是“性别之战”50周年,我们从商业的角度来重新审视这场比赛以及背后的职业网球,并把它和戈尔丁的研究对照起来,试着理解“同工同酬”意味着什么。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 资料整理 |曾莉雯、李秋瑾| 时间轴 |00:07 2023年诺贝尔经济学奖的主题与每个人相关00:51 “性别之战”,史上最受关注的一场网球比赛02:53 网球职场科普:公开赛时代意味着什么?05:48 “钱进来了,女性被挤出去了”07:56 比利·简·金的抗争:同工同酬、自立门户09:43 钱从何来?关键人物海德曼16:30 被迫去打性别之战:如果输了怎么办?21:24 故事的另一面:当下WTA和球员的矛盾27:16 女子比赛就是不如男子比赛?三个反驳33:17 回到戈尔丁:重新理解网球界同工同酬的意义| 延伸阅读 |女子职业网球的“创始9人”:Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Judy Dalton, Julie Heldman, Kerry Melville, Peaches Bartkowicz, Kristy Pigeon, Nancy Richey, and Valerie Ziegenfuss.电影《性别之战》戈尔丁对“性别之战”的评论https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/business/how-to-win-the-battle-of-the-sexes-over-pay-.htmlWTA 50周年纪念文章https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/before-the-original-9-there-was-gladys-heldman-who-launched-the-women-s-tennis-rWTA对海德曼的纪念https://www.wtatennis.com/news/1810228/the-gladys-heldman-story《The Atheletic》对WTA和球员矛盾的报道https://theathletic.com/5014481/2023/10/30/wta-female-players-letter-push/《卫报》对WTA经营问题的报道https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/oct/30/finals-venue-chaos-is-symbolic-of-the-wtas-failings“网球之家”对ATP和WTA的收入科普https://new.qq.com/rain/a/20210901A059W600戈尔丁的著作《事业还是家庭?》https://book.douban.com/subject/36428654/《经济管理学刊》对戈尔丁研究成果的介绍https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/q_1mcIZiprNX8tGsS7trMQ商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信,加入听友群,一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号:thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境,我们准备了两个小问题,请在添加微信后回答:1,你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目?为什么?2,你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题?期待与你交流!| 后期制作 |潘鑫、董思哲| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙播客App、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、荔枝、汽水儿等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号:第一财经YiMagazine联系我们:thatisbiz@yicai.com
More on this episode of Breaking it Down with Frank Mackay, REDUX!
Sport is arguably the biggest arena in the fight for equal pay: in a milestone victory last week and after a six-year legal battle, the US Women's National Soccer Team reached an agreement with USSF to equalise compensation, bonuses, and work conditions between the women's and men's national teams through 2028. But in the history of gender-based pay discrimination, the tennis court pre-dates the soccer field. In this special episode, we flashback to Summer 2021 and the unique opportunity to cover The Original 9's story as told during their induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. In 1970, nine female professional tennis players rebelled against the United States Lawn Tennis Association due to the wide inequality in prize money paid to male vs. female tennis players. Their strike led to the creation of the WTA and laid the groundwork for other female athletes. Today, tennis has the smallest gender pay gap in sport.Please note the source material for this episode was recorded June 2021.About The Original 9:Nearly 51 years ago, nine brave women banded together to take a first-of-its kind stand against a growing disparity in prize money and playing opportunities for women in professional tennis. As a result of their courage, women's professional tennis was launched on September 23, 1970 when the Original 9 stood with promoter Gladys Heldman in Houston and held aloft symbolic dollar bills notes.The nine women were Americans Peaches Bartkowicz, Rosie Casals, Julie Heldman, Billie Jean King, Kristy Pigeon, Nancy Richey, Valerie Ziegenfuss, and Australians Judy Tegart Dalton and Kerry Melville Reid, and together with Heldman they were committed to creating a better future for female athletes.Faced with the threat of expulsion by the sport's traditional governing bodies – which meant being stripped of their rankings and eligibility to compete at the Slams or on national teams – the Original 9 held their nerve, signing $1 contracts to play in Heldman's alternative, non-sanctioned Virginia Slims Invitational. The Original 9 and their colleagues working tirelessly to cultivate relationships with promoters and sponsors and market their league to the media and the public. As the threatened penalties were shown to be ill-judged, the Original 9 recruited more players to the cause, building a momentum that would eventually lead to the formation of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) in 1973 and inspire the fight for equal prize money for decades to come.Today, women's tennis thrives through as the world's leading global sport for women. This success is built on the Original 9's enduring vision that girls and women around the world deserve equality of opportunity, in tennis and in all walks of life.

On the week of a massive milestone anniversary in women's tennis history, Ben and Courtney set the table for a discussion of the Original 9, the group of women who broke away from the tennis establishment and risked their careers in order to make women's professional tennis into a viable sport on September 23, 1970. An interview with Kristy Pigeon, one of the nine, will be here on NCR soon, so Ben and Courtney wanted to set the stage a bit and explain what the Original 9 was, why they matter, and why their stories still resonate. Courtney has been doing lots of great stuff about the Original 9 over at WTA Insider, so go listen to Gladys Heldman, listen to Judy Dalton, or (re)visit NCR's chat with Julie Heldman.

New research from the University of York shows that the number of women dependent on cannabis has been underestimated and that there is significant gender bias in the way cannabis dependence is assessed and counted meaning that women may not be getting the help they need. Jenni speaks to Ian Hamilton, senior lecturer in addiction and mental health in the Department of Health Sciences, University of York.Julie Heldman is a former American tennis player who won 22 women's tournaments. She reached number 5 in career ranking playing against stars such as Billie Jean King, Margaret Court and Yvonne Goolagong. She has written her memoir ‘Driven: A Daughter's Odyssey' about her time on the tennis circuit, the fight for equality in the game and the role her mother Gladys, the founder of World Tennis magazine, played in starting the women's pro tour in 1970. You're ready for that nerve wracking event in every parent's life – the school parents' evening. You've done your best to look neat and tidy when your son says, ‘Mum, you're not going in that jacket are you?' It seems there is no fashion critic so brutal as a child – especially if Mum is going to be witnessed by their peers and teachers. We sent Tamsin Smith to meet some women and their children to find out why it matters so much. For many years Women's Centres have provided a safe, all-female environment for vulnerable women who can use them as a means to avoid or exit the criminal justice system or as a way to get support for legal, mental health, housing and substance misuse issues. But now some of these Women's Centres are facilitating a community payback scheme, previously known as community service. How much can women's centres be both a place of empowerment and punishment? Jenni speaks to Dr Nicola Harding, a criminology researcher at Lancaster University, Kate Paradine, CEO of Women in Prison and Sharna Kennedy, communications officer for the women's centre Tomorrow's Women Wirral.
