Women economists, empowered by the mass women's liberation movement at the time, formed a committee within the AEA to press for equal opportunity and greater access to the job market. This committee focused their early efforts on reforming the labor market with one of the key activities being the creation of a job vacancy publication. The consequence of having a job vacancy publication was the establishment of a path whereby newly trained women economists were made aware of opportunities and the existing informal hiring system was gradually relied upon less. Women economists played an important role in the establishment, legitimization, and broader acceptance of a job vacancy publication that helped to further empower women and other marginalized economists. HIGHLIGHTS Women pursued equal opportunity in economics via reforms to employment-search practices. Published vacancies achieved a greater representation of women in the labor market by formalizing aspects of the labor market. The publication of job vacancies was only a first step to creating an inclusive environment for women. Not all marginalized groups saw their path to acceptance within economics paved by labor market reform.","PeriodicalId":47715,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Economics","volume":"29 1","pages":"199 - 224"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48613082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polakowski","doi":"10.1080/13545701.2023.2230239","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13545701.2023.2230239","url":null,"abstract":"This article traces the evolution of childcare policies in Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom during the period 2005–15 in order to observe changes possibly related to economic crisis. Applying the concept of degenderization and the method of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA), the study examines: (1) equality of parental leave entitlements, (2) generosity of parental leave-related benefits, (3) accessibility of childcare services, and (4) length of all available leave schemes, at six points in time. The argument is that changes within this period did not lead to a radical transformation in childcare policy, while those shifts that took place could be more often characterized as degenderizing, contrary to expectations. Finally, the study identified policy clusters: four types of genderization (strong genderization, with care payment, with care parity, and with activation), strong and weak versions of degenderization, as well as a mixed case. HIGHLIGHTS This study traces the evolution of childcare policies across nine EU countries during the period of recession between 2005 and 2015. It uses the concept of “degenderization” to develop a typology of childcare policies. A dynamic analysis reveals that despite austerity measures, policies usually remained stable over time. Moreover, despite the crisis, policies tended to promote gender equality in care. Small steps toward degenderization in care policies over time signal that the gender revolution is not “stalled.”","PeriodicalId":47715,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Economics","volume":"29 1","pages":"153 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49007218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1920s and 1930s, on average, 40 percent of the shareholders of Banco Hispano Americano, a leading commercial bank, were women, and they owned more than one-third of the share capital. The legal framework did not discriminate against women’s ownership, and bank regulations did not discourage women from investing in shares. The main cause of the large share of women shareholders is kinship with other shareholders. The findings also highlight the importance of inheritance regimes that treat all siblings equally, regardless of sex, to access parents’ wealth to reduce the wealth gap. Finally, the study highlights how historical cases may contribute to current debates on how women gain and retain wealth through access to financial assets. HIGHLIGHTS Historical narratives unearth the roots of contemporary financial gender inequality in an effort to narrow the gender gap. The case of the Banco Hispano Americano in Spain highlights effective strategies for promoting women’s financial inclusion. Egalitarian inheritance regimes facilitate women’s access to financial wealth. Urban areas increase women’s agency through access to financial information. Financial assets may secure women’s well-being when other support is lacking.","PeriodicalId":47715,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Economics","volume":"29 1","pages":"225 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45576814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was an outpouring of grief on social media, with many younger scholars from around the world recalling the inspiration they drew from attendance at the summer schools on Gender and Macroeconomics, brilliantly hosted by Nilüfer at the Department of Economics, University of Utah starting in 2004. Nilüfer made a lasting contribution to the development of feminist macroeconomics, which we celebrate in this reflection, drawing on our experience of working with Nilüfer to create this summer school, including the research that informed the curriculum, the network of scholars who taught at the summer school, and the funding that made it possible. The origins of the summer school can be traced back to 1992, when the three of us participated in a multidisciplinary workshop at the North– South Institute in Ottawa that, under the leadership of Isabella Bakker and Joanna Kerr, considered how macroeconomic policy could be recast so that it operated to benefit women rather than to their detriment. The workshop built on research that we and others had done on the gendered impact of structural adjustment policies. We each contributed a chapter to the pioneering book that came out of the workshop (see Bakker 1994). Shortly before the workshop, the journal World Development (1991) had published a special issue on the impacts of structural adjustment on poverty, and the World Bank Economic Review (1991) had published a similar issue modeling the effects of adjustment on developing countries. None of the articles mentioned women, which was a vast oversight, given the research in that era on the impacts of structural adjustment on women.1 On the margins of the workshop, the three of us began to dream of a project that would focus on the creation of a specifically feminist economics approach to macroeconomics that would make use of commonly employed quantitative tools such as econometrics and modeling but in new ways, taking into account gender inequality and unpaid as well as paid work. We conceived of a process to bring together feminist economists and","PeriodicalId":47715,"journal":{"name":"Feminist Economics","volume":"29 1","pages":"3 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45893650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
