What is Feminist Economics
The study of economics and economies from a critical perspective, with a particular emphasis on gender-aware and inclusive economic research and policy analysis, is referred to as feminist economics. Academics, activists, policy theorists, and practitioners are considered to be members of the feminist economic research community. There is a significant amount of research that is conducted by feminists in the field of economics that focuses on topics that have been neglected in the field, such as care work and intimate partner violence. Additionally, significant research is conducted on economic theories that could be improved by better incorporating gendered effects and interactions, such as between paid and unpaid sectors of economies. Additional feminist scholars have been involved in the development of novel approaches to data gathering and measurement, such as the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), as well as theories that are more gender-conscious, such as the capacities approach. The purpose of feminist economics is to "improve the well-being of children, women, and men in local, national, and transnational communities." This is something that feminist economics strives to do.
