163. Dr. Carolina Robino and Dr. Rebecca Calder on Investing in the Care Economy
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the global economy in unprecedented ways, marking a new wave of interest in the design of healthier and alternative economic systems for the benefit of People and Planet. Unpaid domestic work and the care crisis has been big areas of concern amongst scholars and activists studying and advocating for Feminist Economics principles, how can theory and praxis of the care economy help clear the knowledge gap between the public, private and civil sectors?
What is the care economy and why its past and present organization is creating a structural barrier limiting women's economic participation? How has climate change exacerbated the care crisis? In which ways the private sector is helping solve the care crisis in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia? Since there are pink washing dynamics in gender lens investments and philanthropy initiatives, how could a "well-executed" care economy lens change the future of investments, businesses and markets?
An interview with Dr. Carolina Robino and Dr. Rebecca Calder, partners of The Care Economy Knowledge Hub.
