Abstract

[Gender in economics is no longer analysed exclusively in terms of gender inequalities in economic variables, such as employment or wages or as the differential impacts of economic processes and policies on men and women. Gender is also understood as, first, shaping market processes in terms of access to and control over resources, such as education or incomes, second, as shaping people’s choices, for example in segmented labour markets, and third, as being inherently part of macroeconomic trends, for example through fluctuations in the female labour force participation rate, or in responses to crises though increases in the supply of unpaid labour. So, gender is increasingly understood not only as an exogenous variable (coming from outside the economic system, from culture, social relations, nature, or laws), but also as endogenous — shaping and being shaped by particular economic processes, conditions and outcomes.]
