Call for Papers<\/b><\/p>\n

The goal of this conference is to advance the current framework that integrates gender and unpaid work into macroeconomic analysis and enables the development of gender-aware and equitable economic policies. We are especially interested in topics relevant to Sub-Saharan African countries, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Relationships between economic structure (e.g., the relative importance of the service sector, agriculture, the care economy, trade, etc.), growth regime (wage-led versus investment-led growth), and gender inequities.<\/li>\n
  2. Mechanisms and the extent to which unpaid work constrains women\u2019s participation in paid work and access to economic opportunities.<\/li>\n
  3. Implications of women\u2019s labor market participation for their well-being and for intrahousehold allocation of time.<\/li>\n
  4. Structural, macroeconomic, and microeconomic aspects of women\u2019s employment in the informal sector.<\/li>\n
  5. Formulation and analysis of gender-aware policy interventions.<\/li>\n
  6. Frameworks for integrating the role of unpaid work in measures of well-being (e.g., time and income poverty).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We invite both theoretical and empirical studies and encourage submissions that employ innovative methodologies and new datasets. We are also interested in papers that provide a comprehensive picture of the state of the art, identify gaps, and indicate directions for future research.<\/p>\n

    Accommodation and travel-related expenses will be covered by the conference organizers. Please send your abstract via e-mail to Ajit Zacharias (zacharia@levy.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n
