feminist political economy

Feminist political economy is a framework that examines how economic systems and policies impact men and women differently, emphasizing the ways gender roles, unpaid work, and power relations influence economic outcomes. It challenges traditional economic theories that often overlook gender disparities, highlighting issues like wage gaps, labor inequalities, and caregiving responsibilities. By integrating gender perspectives, it aims to create more equitable and inclusive economic policies that recognize women's contributions and address systemic injustices embedded within economic structures.
