FAQs

What is Feminist Economics?
Feminist economics shies away from a single definition. Rather, it favours a diversity of methodological approaches and research topics. It can be seen as a forum, or home, for diverse and heterodox views, methods, and topics in economics. (See e.g. Corsi and Zacchia, 2023)

“Robust discussions of power, patriarchy, and social provisioning are the bread and butter of feminist economics.”  (Small, 2023.)

Is Feminist Economics only about women?
No, feminist economics goes beyond focusing solely on women. It examines how economic theories and practices affect all genders and seeks to address and rectify gender-based inequalities in economic systems.
