This lecture takes a look at the consequences of COVID-19 from a feminist economics perspective. Professor Kabeer analyses a range of different impacts associated with COVID-19 and explores the kinds of policies that such a feminist economics lens would suggest for a more resilient and equitable future.

Comment from our editors:

This is a great contribution to get a better understanding of the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the public responses to it. Prof. Kabeer gives interesting insights on the situations within families, domestic work, and also violence in the private sphere.

As opposed to the conventional over-simplified assumption of self-interested individuals, strong evidence points towards the presence of heterogeneous other-regarding preferences in agents. Incorporating social preferences – specifically, trust and reciprocity - and recognizing the non-constancy of these preferences across individuals can help models better represent the reality.

Le rôle des politiques publiques dans la perpétuation de cette organisation économique est également mis en lumière, ainsi que la difficulté pour les sciences économiques à capturer cette dimension genrée du travail.
