Women don't ask (and don't get) and other gender biases at work

09/03/2026 Laura Hospido

Would your work be valued the same if you were a woman instead of a man? What about the other way round? Are parts of your career shaped less by talent and more by gender? In this episode of CIENxCIEN, the Banco de España lifts the lid on the invisible prejudices at work, exploring how gender biases still drive opportunities, risks and appraisals. We need to change the score, not the orchestra, if we want to make the music sing.

What’s the cost of not being sustainable?

01/04/2025

Soledad Núñez

Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow? That is what living sustainably is about: concerning ourselves not only with our own needs today but also with the needs of future generations. If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.

Economic forecasting in stormy weather Series: Economy

Enrique Moral , Iván Kataryniuk

They say a butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can cause a hurricane in another, and everyone (people and countries alike) wants to be ready when this happens to the economy, so we’re not caught unawares. In this episode of CIENxCIEN, Ana Comellas invites Enrique Moral and Iván Kataryniuk to explain how macroeconomic projections enable us to anticipate the main economic variables, how accurate these forecasts are and how relevant they are in such a changing environment as the present one.
