SUMMARY:43rd IATUR Conference
DESCRIPTION:Connecting Time Use Research with Public Policies\, Organizations and Society\nThis year’s conference theme is: Connecting Time Use Research with Public Policies\, Organizations and Society. Time-use research has the potential to inform key time use policies such as education schedules\, mobility\, equality policies\, amongst many others. The 2021 IATUR conference wants to explore the connection between research\, policy-making and societal changes. To that end\, plenary sessions will include discussions of research results that have already or can potentially impact society and both the receptions and visits have been designed to allow for knowledge exchange between researchers attending the conference and policy-makers and public servants that execute public policy on a day-to-day basis. \n  \nCall for papers\nFollowing the conference topic\, the abstracts can be submitted on several policy-related fields. On the call for abstracts page you will find a more detailed explanation on each category. \nAbstracts that are related to time use research but do not fit in any of the pre-set categories can be submitted under the “Others” category. \nPlease submit your abstract here. \n  \nCOVID-19 disclaimer \nThe conference is programmed to happen in Barcelona but the organizers are following closely the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:IAFFE 2021 Sustaining Life: Challenges of Multidimensional Crises
DESCRIPTION:Sustaining life requires inclusive and resilient economic and political systems and the sustainability of our environment.  Feminist economics continues to offer a vital set of intellectual perspectives and methodologies with which to analyze these issues. Our economic and political systems are failing to address human needs and ecological fragility\, particularly with the growing rise of illiberal democracies. Our societies face pressures to divide along lines of race\, religion\, nationality\, gender\, and sexual identity.  Borders are increasingly shutting people out and walls are being built. Globally\, women face threats to their jobs\, their livelihoods and their bodily integrity. The global pandemic has exacerbated all of these challenges.  Against this backdrop\, new economic visions and tools are needed and feminist approaches are essential. Feminist economics has long looked beyond the simplifications that are embedded in the categories\, methods\, and models of mainstream economics and welcomes insights from other disciplines. Our approaches look at activities within the socially constructed categories of households\, firms\, communities\, and the state; we consider economic activity both inside and outside markets; and we seek a more integrated understanding of human well-being in which productive and reproductive activities are valued. The IAFFE 2021 Conference will provide a forum for scholarship and inquiry that recognizes the methodological pluralism of our field. We define our field broadly and welcome research that brings a feminist lens to topics both micro and macro\, local and global. We invite you to join us for this virtual conference\, hosted by the Quito Local Committee. \n

SUMMARY:2021 INTERNATIONAL CARE POLICY CONFERENCE ON THE CARE ECONOMY IN KOREA: BEYOND COVID-19 AND TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE CARING SOCIETY
DESCRIPTION: JUNE 2 – 4\, 2021 \nSEOUL\, KOREA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion (CTMS) at Seoul National University and the Care Work and the Economy (CWE-GAM) Project at American University will jointly host international scholars\, research institutions\, civil society groups\, and government ministries for a conference in Seoul\, South Korea on June 2-4\, 2021\, with the purpose of examining how care work and care economy lie at the center of reimagining the transformation towards a new normal in the post-pandemic future. \nThe issue of care work has not been given due consideration in public discourse and policy agendas until recent years. Feminist economists have led a hard battle to bring care provisioning work “out of the closet” so to resolve gender and economic inequalities that ground and perpetuate the uneven burden of care\, compounded by other social factors of discrimination including but not limited to ethnicity\, race\, age\, disability\, education\, and migration status. \nThe outbreak of COVID-19\, however\, is stalling or even reversing years of progress on these inequalities\, exacerbating the “care crisis” that has further increased the already disproportionate burden shouldered by women. Ironically\, the social distancing and related coronavirus containment measures have made care work more visible than ever. While staying at home\, more of us have come to witness how women primarily bear the brunt of added care responsibilities in the household\, from preparing meals to doing house chores to attending to the various needs of family members. For care workers\, their safety and livelihoods are gravely threatened as care work naturally demands physical contact and intimacy; many work while being exposed to the danger of infection\, and many have lost their jobs with the closure of care centers and social care services. \nThe spread of the coronavirus pandemic has presented an unprecedented challenge to the global community on all levels\, but it also provides an opportunity to recognize why and how we must focus on care work to reframe our approach to tackling the worsening crises of declining fertility rates\, rapid population aging\, increasing inequalities\, and economic slowdown amid the global pandemic. \nPurpose\nThe 2021 conference aims to bring scholars\, experts\, and policymakers to discuss ways toward building a more caring\, equal\, and resilient society in the post-pandemic world. A serious\, sustainable action plan against the coronavirus pandemic calls for a serious investment in the infrastructure for families and communities\, at the heart of which is care. Covid-19 highlighted the pre-existing vulnerabilities in our society: the elderly\, the children and the disabled are at greater risks of not being provided decent care; the care burden for families is amplified; and women are hit hardest by the increased time spent on care work and domestic labor amid lockdowns\, aggravating the gender inequalities that disadvantage women. \nPrioritizing care is no longer an option but a must; it is foundational to the operation and recovery of our social\, economic\, and political systems. The discussion on coordinating policy actions oriented towards strengthening the care infrastructure in our society will hit upon the anticipated impacts of macroeconomic/labor/other care-related policies on social and economic equality\, as well as on rendering our society more resilient against future challenges. \nThe purpose of the Conference is to examine how care work and the care economy lie at the center of a reimagined transformation that promotes inclusive growth and sustainable economic development in the post-pandemic future. It will examine the policy issues related to the provisioning of care work\, such as in South Korea\, integrate care issues into macroeconomic policymaking\, and generate innovative policy solutions to: 1) chronic public underinvestment in care work and infrastructures; 2) the low (and even decline in) women’s labor force participation; and 3) persistent inequalities in the economy and society. We know that you would inspire an enthusiastic discussion of these issues. \nVisit the website to learn more: \nCenter for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion (ctms.or.kr)\nVisit the Agenda Here\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Making gender equality central to post-COVID-19 recovery: Debt relief and innovative finance
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend\nWebinar | April 1\, 2021  \n8:30 a.m. EDT | 12:30 p.m. UTC\n1:30 p.m. BST | 3:30 p.m. EAT  (75 minutes)\nFind your local time \nAlongside the impacts of the pandemic\, the pressure of public debt is increasing for emerging economies. This heightens the challenges for an inclusive recovery\, and for addressing the gender inequalities that have been amplified during the pandemic.  \nAhead of the World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings\, the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are bringing together a panel of experts in gender and economics for a webinar to explore emerging research into debt management and policies that can promote gender equality.  \nDebt is a major concern for many countries and has been made worse by COVID-19. The economic recovery from the pandemic requires bold\, innovative\, and sustainable responses that address the simultaneous crises of debt\, climate change and inequalities. \nThis event on Thursday\, 1 April 2021\, will examine recent research into previous debt relief efforts—such as the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) Initiative—and the current debt challenges. How is the growth of debt  limiting investments necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement\, and affecting policy choices as countries seek to recover from the COVID-19 crisis? How can investments to address gender inequalities be promoted as part of debt relief? What can previous debt-relief efforts teach us to help make gender equality central to current debt management and recovery policies? \nSpeakers\nProfessor Jayati Ghosh (keynote and panelist) – Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, USA. Professor Ghosh previously taught economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi for nearly 35 years. \nProfessor Diane Elson (panelist) – Emeritus Professor\, Sociology Department\, University of Essex in the UK. \nAndrew Hurst (panelist) – Director\, Economic Growth and IFIs\, Global Affairs Canada \nProfessor Jane Mariara (panelist on African research on gender in macro-economics) – Executive Director\, Partnership for Economic Policy \nModerator\nErin Tansey – Director\, Sustainable Inclusive Economies\, IDRC. \n  \nSimultaneous interpretation (English-French) will be available for this event. \nWebinars are online workshops that you can attend via the internet from your computer or portable internet device. \nThis webinar will use the Zoom video conferencing platform. If you have not attended a Zoom webinar before\, please read this guide to joining and participating as an attendee. \nThe event will be recorded to be distributed publicly afterwards. By registering for this event\, you give your consent for this. \nThe information you provide will be held on our database to process your booking. We do not share data with any third parties. \n\nAbout PEP and IDRC \nThe Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) considers women’s economic empowerment vital for sustainable\, equitable development. Through our current research initiatives\, we are supporting gender-sensitive policymaking as a step towards gender equality. \nIDRC is a Canadian Crown corporation that funds research in developing countries to create lasting change on a large scale. IDRC supports local organizations in the Global South to generate the evidence that is relevant in their context. They provide financial resources\, advice\, and training to researchers in developing countries to help them find solutions to local problems\, and encourage knowledge sharing with policy-makers\, researchers\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Report Release: India Inequality Report 2020 — On Women's Backs
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Oct 28\, 2020 7:00 AM – 8:05 AM EDT\, 4:30 PM IST \nOxfam India is releasing the 2020 India Inequality Report — On Women’s Backs — on 28th Oct. The latest NSSO survey has revealed that the average Indian woman spends 243 minutes\, which is almost ten times of the 25 minutes that an average man spends on household unpaid care work. The gendered division of labour between the caregiver woman and the breadwinner man breeds gender inequality. What makes it unequal is that the work that women do\, is not valued as productive formal labour that brings in income\, their needs and rights go unnoticed. Our panelists Prof Diane Elson and Prof Jayati Ghosh\, in a discussion moderated by Rupali Mehra\, will unpack and highlight the intersections between violence against women and the unpaid care work they perform. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Care is on the ballot: Why COVID-19 should push American voters to pay greater attention to the care economy
DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump and Joe Biden present American voters with a stark choice when it comes to policies about the care economy. COVID-19 has underscored the importance of health care\, child and elder-care\, and education. While President Trump’s second term agenda largely ignores the care economy\, former Vice President Biden offers plans that recognize the value of care work and care workers – intrinsically and as a pillar of the economy. As this Big Thinking lecture will show\, the dilemmas about reopening schools offer insights into the importance of taking the care economy seriously this election – and the implications for how Americans provide and receive care if voters do not. \nRachel K. Brickner is Professor of Politics\, Acadia University. Her ongoing research explores the politics of public education in the United States and Canada through the lens of a feminist ethic of care. Her scholarly interests have an overarching focus on labour rights and workers’ activism throughout the Americas. She is concurrently working on projects exploring the policy implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on workers in Nova Scotia. Earlier work\, including SSHRC-funded research\, has focused on union activism of women and precarious workers in the food service industry\, as well as the rights of migrant workers. \nModerator: Ito Peng\, Canada Research Chair in Global Social Policy\, University of Toronto \nTuesday\, October 27\, 2020 \n12:00 to 13:00 ET \nVirtual lecture \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Equalities and Employment in 2020
DESCRIPTION:Join the UK Women’s Budget Group and the Trades Union Congress to discuss how to protect women’s working rights in the age of coronavirus October 19th 2:00pm – 3:00pm BST (London time)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin the UK Women’s Budget Group (WBG) and Trades Union Congress (TUC) for this special event to discuss the launch of WBG’s Commission on a Gender-Equal Economy and ask\, how can we stop 2020 turning back the clock on women’s rights\, workers’ rights and inequalities across the board?  \nThis event will be on Zoom and Chaired by Sian Elliott\, Women’s Equality Policy Officer\, TUC. Speakers include:  \n\nSarah Veale\, Commissioner and Vice Chair of Equally Ours\nGloria Mills\, National Secretary Equalities at Unison\nFaiza Shaheen\, Commissioner and Director of CLASS\nRuth Cross\, National Equalities Officer\, Usdaw\n\nThe coronavirus pandemic has changed the world of work beyond compare. The good news for gender equality is that millions are now working flexibly and remotely. The bad news? That many parents\, especially mothers\, are doing so without adequate childcare whilst hundreds of sectors including manufacturing and hospitality face the double threat of lockdown and a no deal Brexit. Ten years on from the Equality Act 2010\, many women are facing new waves of discrimination and exclusion. We’re facing the biggest employment crisis of our times. \nWork is a huge part of all our lives and has a defining role in creating a genuinely gender equal economy for women\, in all their diversity. On this panel we’ll ask: \n\nWhat needs to change at work to encourage equal pay\, equal sharing of unpaid caring responsibilities and non-discrimination?\nHow are trade unions challenging increasing casualisation in the workplace\, promoting equality and organising women workers?\nWhat do we need to see from the Government to not only protect jobs but create them in a way that means women and men equally benefit and\, we respond to the climate emergency?\n\nCome along to consider the recommendations of the Commission’s final report ‘Creating a Caring Economy Now: a Call to Action’ and discuss how trade unions and others can turn these recommendations into action. \nThis event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. Joining instructions will be sent nearer to the time of the event. \n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:International Conference on “Care Work: The Search for Solidarity and Social Inclusion”
DESCRIPTION:On October 29\, 2019\, the Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion\, which was officially launched in August of this year under the Institute of International Affairs at SNU GSIS\, hosted an international conference on “Values of Care Work and Social Inclusion.” Five other institutions joined efforts to lend generous support for this event\, including Open Society Foundations\, the largest private human rights funder in the world committed to building vibrant and inclusive societies. \nThe conference brought together researchers and representatives from civil society organizations to share knowledge on the present state of care provisioning in South Korea\, learn about the respective challenges for paid and unpaid caregivers\, and discuss necessary policy changes that are grounded in recognition of the value of care work. Stories from Thailand\, Malaysia\, and Colombia enriched the discussion and provided better perspectives to reflect on the case of South Korea. The participants affirmed the need for enhanced cooperation between the research community and civil society so that the actual voices of care workers can be better heard in the process of policy-making. \nThe October 29th conference was held as part of a four-day program comprising of two expert workshops and two conferences\, which aimed to examine the subject of care in the context of solidarity and social inclusion. The Center\, under the directorship of Professor Ki-Soo Eun of SNU GSIS\, has been conducting research with a broad network of scholars for the Care Work and the Economy Project (American University) to achieve a deeper understanding of the nature of care work through the use of innovative measures and methods\, and to contribute to the development of tools for shaping relevant macroeconomic and social policies.

SUMMARY:International Conference on “Empowerment of Care Workers: Issues and Challenges”
DESCRIPTION:On February 25\, 2019\, a new project gathering organizations supporting care workers in South Korea was launched\, led by Care Work and the Economy (CWE-GAM) and its partner Seoul National University (SNU). Researchers from academia and government agencies discussed issues and challenges in getting care on the policy agenda\, aiming to promote informed policies that enhance the quality of life of both those providing and receiving care. \nCare for children\, the elderly\, and other dependents is vital as it sustains human existence\, enhances individual and broader societal well-being\, and promotes sustainable development. Despite continuous efforts in providing benefits for individuals\, families\, and communities\, care work is enormously undervalued. \nTo support such agenda the CWE-GAM\, a network of over 35 researchers\, is producing new data and empirical evidence to advance knowledge on care work\, care arrangements\, and policy impacts on growth\, distribution\, and gender equality in South Korea. The project conducted a nationwide survey on a representative sample of paid care workers (600 respondents) and a household survey of families responsible for caring for children and/or elderly (1\,000 respondents)\, including a 24-hour time use diary and in-depth interviews with caregivers and care recipients (90 respondents). \nThe meeting commenced a long-term commitment to bring together researchers\, the civil society\, and policy communities to advance the policy discussion on care in South Korea. Over the next year\, the CWE-GAM team led by SNU\, will convene several small group workshops around the country and will host two more interactive conferences as well as a high-profile policy dialogue in Seoul in the Spring of 2020. \nThe aim of the engagement is to: \n\nSupport the strategic use of our research and build the capacity of groups to use research more effectively;\nProvide insights into the production of our research outputs and research-based materials; and\nShare research findings\, policy recommendations\, and strengthen relationships among groups and between the civil society\, research\, and policy communities;\n\nThe project aims to build connections among and between communities and build up data and research needed by those on the frontlines working to change policy and practice. We hope such actions will lead to more informed policies that better address the needs to those providing and receiving care.
