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.

Expats, talent without borders

Susana Parraga Rodríguez , Elvira Prades Illanes , Irune Solera Lopez

There are some decisions that need a lot of thought, while others are made almost instinctively. What do you think it would be like to decide to move abroad to work? There are many unknowns but – at least for some people – few doubts. Fasten your seatbelts, we’re off. Our destination is on the map, but what we may find there is still a mystery.
