In honor of International Women's Day 2026, we sat down with Nina Smith, who has spent over 44 years doing the research that turns opinion into evidence. With a career dedicated to women's pathways to executive management and boards of directors, Nina is one of Denmark's leading experts at the intersection of labor and education economics. Her work places a particular emphasis on family-friendly policies, women's career progression, and the impact of female leadership on firm performance, alongside research into intergenerational mobility, educational attainment, and the allocation of time within the household. In this interview, she shares what has and hasn't changed for women in the Danish labor market, why she frames gender equality as an economic issue rather than a values debate, and what she believes companies must do differently starting tomorrow.
