The dossier explores the nature of care work and the gendered constructions and dichotomies that are associated with it. Drawing from feminist analysis the double burden, the undervaluation of feminised labour, the commodification of affective labour and the remittance economy are inquired into. Moreover, it is discussed how welfare regimes rely on the different organization of care work.

Economics and Identity
The authors discuss how identity affects economic outcomes by bringing together psychological and sociological perspectives and economics. For economic outcomes of a single individual, it might be interesting which kind of social groups this individual belongs to. This may influence individual daily decisions and hence economic outcomes. It can, however, not only affect individual economic outcomes but also economic outcomes of organizations, institutions and other groups. This paper describes these influences with respect to gender in the workplace, to the economics of poverty and social exclusion, and to the household division of labour.

Feministische Ökonomie als Herausforderung des VWL Mainstreams
Friederike Maier gibt eine Einführung in die Feministische Ökonomik, die sie als sehr heterogenes Feld mit unterschiedlichen feministischen Zugängen zur Ökonomie begreift (exklusive poststrukturalistischer Ansätze). Neben deren Kritik am Mainstream stellt sie zudem Themenschwerpunkte wie Lohnunterschiede, Gender Budgeting und Reproduktionsarbeit vor und präsentiert hierzu empirische Studien.

Ein feministischer Blick auf eine zukunftsfähige Versorgungsökonomie
Die Sorge- und Versorgungswirtschaft der größte Sektor der Volkswirtschaft – und bleibt in den wirtschaftspolitischen Debatten dennoch meist unsichtbar. Dabei wäre eine stärkere Anerkennung zentral für eine zukunftsgerichtete Wirtschaftspolitik.
