Advancing the Landscape of Research, Methodology, and Data on the Care Economy

We are pleased to announce that the Online Events Committee of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) and the Levy Economics institute are co-hosting a 90-minute, moderated panel which will explore the evolving global research and data landscape on care work from a feminist economics perspective, with a goal of highlighting resources for researchers and advocates. Though care work has advanced markedly in research, national policymaking, and multilateral agendas, the feminist economic theoretical and methodological roots of this work continue to be essential for ensuring technical rigor to support the greatest impact. This event will aim to advance the dialogue on where there has been progress in terms of research, methodology, and data, from a feminist economic perspective, as well as discuss where our collective efforts could be best utilized moving forward.
