Product DescriptionThis book makes clear that systematic gender biases are present at all levels in institutions, markets and the household and presents options for introducing social structures to the macroeconomic agenda. The intention is to offer a new framework that brings economic theory and policymaking closer to the circumstances and motivations of real life economic agents.The contributors cover three broad areas macroeconomics and gender, gender and the state, and the institutionalisation of gender considerations in national and international organizations. Using original empirical material, in particular from Latin American countries, they explore a wide range of key issues. These include the genderdifferentiated effects of economic policy and public spending decisions; unpaid household labour and its measurement; gender statistics; gender equality in planning and public policy; and the notion of economies as gendered structures.With backgrounds in a variety of disciplines, the authors go beyond a theoretical debate and place the practical realities of policy making centre stage. Their work should be relevant to development research and activity worldwide, while being particularly valuable in its emphasis on how state reform processes can advance a democratic development for women and men on equal terms.About the AuthorMartha Gutierrez is a political scientist. She currently heads the project on Governance and Democratisation of GTZ. Prior to this, she worked as a programme officer for gender issues at GTZ in Germany.
