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.

Post-pandemic future of work - How does digitization impact labour?
The outbreak of COVID-19 has substantially accelerated the digitalization of the economy. Yet, this unprecedented growth of digital technology brought novel challenges to the labour market. Rise in income inequalities and precarious working conditions or polarization of jobs. In this essay, we try to assess what tools to use to counter these trends.

Driving Forward Social and Solidarity Economy: The Case of South Africa's Taxi Industry
South Africa’s taxi industry was established by black people in the 1930s and has faced numerous challenges, including those posed by decades of apartheid laws. Covid-19 has highlighted contemporary challenges facing the industry and has also raised questions about how it can keep ‘driving forward’. This podcast explores questions such as what changes need to be made, and who can be the ‘drivers’ of such change.
