How do we get our dinner? And who cooked Adam Smith's dinner? Starting with Smith's answer on the origin of a dinner, Katrine Marçal problematizes and illustrates how unpaid labour was and is still being ignored by economic theory and how the homo economics represents characteristics perceived as male.

After completing the module, participants should be able to understand the economic consequences of gender inequality. They should be able to explain the contradictions between capital and care, analyze the labor market with a gender perspective and develop the ability to describe phenomena such as public policies taking into account "gender" as a category of analysis.

Genauer hinhören: Was in der Debatte ums Grundeinkommen falsch läuft
Eigentlich klingt die Idee ganz simpel: Jeden Monat soll der Staat seinen Bürger*innen einen fixen Betrag aufs Konto überweisen. Einfach so. Ohne Gegenleistung, ohne Wenn und Aber. Doch so einfach ist es nicht. Wenn es um das Grundeinkommen geht, reden viele aneinander vorbei. Was geht schief in der Debatte ums Grundeinkommen? Ein Essay von Sebastian Fobbe.

Economic crisis and austerity: challenges to gender equality

Economic crisis and austerity: challenges to gender equality
Departing from an analysis of women's employment and changing gender regimes in the pre crisis period, Jill Rubery illustrates how the crisis affects men's and women's employment differently. Afterwards, she discusses the crisis' impact on gender relations. Based on empirical findings, she shows how men were more affected by the recession and women more by austerity and presents possible explanations. Those are furthermore linked to women's employment decisions and prevalent gender regimes. In particular, Rubery discusses cut backs in public spendings on care, flexibilization and the role of conservative gender ideologies.
