Deep dives
The Importance of Feminist Economics
Feminist economics is a field that examines how gender relates to economics and explores issues such as the gender wage gap, care labor, and labor market segmentation. It takes an explicitly feminist stand and challenges the notion that certain jobs or roles are naturally for women or men. Feminist economics analyzes the social and political factors that influence economic outcomes and advocates for emancipatory politics and solidarity.
