This book makes clear that systematic gender biases are present at
all levels - in institutions, markets and the household - and
presents options for introducing social structures to the
macro-economic agenda. The intention is to offer a new framework
that brings economic theory and policy-making closer to the
circumstances and motivations of real life economic agents. The
contributors cover three broad areas - macro-economics and gender,
gender and the state, and the institutionalisation of gender
considerations in national and international organizations. Using
original empirical material, in particular from Latin American
countries, they explore a wide range of key issues. These include
the gender-differentiated effects of economic policy and public
spending decisions; unpaid household labour and its measurement;
gender statistics; gender equality in planning and public policy;
and the notion of economies as gendered structures. With
backgrounds in a variety of disciplines, the authors go beyond a
theoretical debate and place the practical realities of policy
making centre stage. Their work should be relevant to development
research and activity worldwide, while being particularly valuable
in its emphasis on how state reform processes can advance a
democratic development for women and men on equal terms.
