Feminist Economic Theory

Feminist Economic Theory examines how traditional economics often overlook or undervalue activities predominantly performed by women, such as caregiving and household work, which are essential for the economy but unpaid or underpaid. It advocates for recognizing these contributions, addressing gender inequalities, and creating policies that promote economic fairness. By questioning assumptions about work, value, and power, it aims to achieve a more inclusive understanding of economic systems that benefits everyone regardless of gender.
