Session: Special Lunch Roundtable | IDRC | Expanding feminist analysis in research: How can the narrative on women’s empowerment be more inclusive?
June 19, 2018 13:20 to 14:20
 
The IDRC recently completed the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) program, a partnership with the UK’s Department for International Development and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. This program supported 14 research projects across 50 countries, looking at the relationship between growth and gender equality, and the constraints to women’s access to labour force opportunities in low income contexts. While a large body of evidence emerged from this program and will contribute to what we know about women’s economic empowerment, questions and challenges were also exposed. We will host a discussion on what and who defines women’s empowerment, particularly in a low income context, the value of looking at economic empowerment as distinct from empowerment as a broader concept, and how the approach of the economic research community can be more inclusive. Out of 14 studies and 28 sub-studies, GrOW learned that women’s economic empowerment is context specific and can be dependent on an understanding of ‘empowerment’, as not all economic indicators are empowering. Given this experience, we believe it is important to ground knowledge in local realities. A way to do that is to directly work with local researchers who know the issues and the challenges of working on the ground, within and outside of the field of economics. The nuances of culture and norms in research are better understood across disciplines and with local actors. The main themes we seek to explore during this roundtable discussion are the ways that we work and research designs that should be considered to move from a silo approach to studying women’s economic empowerment to a holistic approach to studying women’s empowerment more broadly, and the economic implications. Speakers from a diverse background will reflect on their experiences, challenges and knowledge in this regard, and highlight effective partnership models, methodologies, and disciplines where collaboration is critical to answer key questions on women’s empowerment and find effective solutions.

Session: Furthering a Feminist Macroeconomic Agenda – Strategies for Change
June 19, 2018 14:30 to 16:20
 
Over the past three decades, an enormous amount of research has been produced in the field of feminist economics, not least by the contributions of IAFFE’s members. While this work continues to develop and gain complexity, much of it has moved out of academia’s ‘ivory’ tower into spaces aimed at influencing policy. Since feminist economic thought made it into the 1995 UN Beijing Platform for Action, it has filtered through to recommendations of UN human rights treaty bodies, reports of special procedure mandate holders of the Human Rights Council, agreed conclusions of the Commission on the Status of Women and various UN agencies. Meanwhile, civil society organisations like the UK Women’s Budget Group and the Center for Women's Global Leadership work every day to push feminist economic policies with their governments. Yet, as the global policy response to the 2008 financial crisis demonstrated, the majority of macro-economic policy makers overwhelmingly still do not consider macro-policy in a way that is informed by the lessons learned of the feminist economists’ community, as with all varieties of heterodox economics. While at the micro-level there has been quite a bit of impact of feminist economics on policy, macroeconomic policy in particular, as conceived by the most powerful, remains largely devoid of feminist analysis. At best it co-opts the language of ‘women’s economic empowerment’ to score political points while obscuring the continued undermining of gender equality and women’s rights. While the IMF, for example, has recently embraced a ‘gender agenda’, it still fails to grasp the gendered impacts of the bulk of its conventional policy advice and seems largely unaware of the considerable academic debate on labour feminisation. Recent discussions on ‘gender’ amongst the G7, the UN High Level Panel on WEE, and the Gender Community of Practice for Finance Ministers have remained equally superficial. While efforts at gender-responsive budgeting and impact assessments have recently gained a very tentative foothold with some governments, their implementation is still at the utmost periphery and has not yet meaningfully challenged the dominance of the neo-liberal economic narrative. This status quo begs the questions why policy-making has not significantly developed on feminist economics despite 30 years of the overwhelming efforts in research and advocacy? How can the work of IAFFE members be more effectively translated into policy-making and how can policy change effectively be realised to create an enabling macroeconomic policy environment for gender equality and women’s rights?

Session: Special Lunch Roundtable | T20 Gender Economic Equity Task Force
June 20, 2018 12:40 to 13:40
 
For the first time since its inception, Think 20 (T20), the network of research institutes and think tanks from G20 countries, has a dedicated Task Force to explore women’s economic rights and labour inclusion. The T20 provides research-based policy advice to the G20, facilitates interaction among its members and the policy community, and communicates with the broader public about issues of global importance. In turn, the T20 Gender Economic Equity (GEE) Task Force will contribute knowledge and evidence to multilateral forum discussions on how to foster women’s economic rights. The GEE Task Force is producing seven Policy Briefs with concrete recommendations to decision makers on topics including women’s financial inclusion, labour inclusion, digital inclusion, the care economy, gender mainstreaming, the future of work and rural women. The diverse Task Force is composed of over 50 experts from 19 countries around the world. The objective of this panel is to present the GEE Task Force’s key recommendations to G20 Leaders, as well introducing G20 process and structures to IAFFE participants. The panellists will address the group’s advocacy strategy and share key advocacy opportunities on women’s economic rights within G20 structures. Furthermore, the panel will seek to inspire feminist economists to engage with the T20 Task Force on Gender Economic Equity. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure gender consideration are at the core of G20 recommendations and communiqués in the years to come.

Session: Why Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a feminst issue
June 20, 2018 13:50 to 15:40
 
The continued advance of financialized globalization, significant increases in the power of private corporations, and renewed pressure on states (both South and North) to implement fiscal compression policies has led to the emergence of a new silver bullet for the building of large infrastructure and the provision of public services – Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). PPPs are being viewed as a solution to a range of problems – shortage of public financial resources, availability of technology and skilled human resources, efficiency and effectiveness. The Bretton Woods institutions have embraced PPPs as the panacea of choice, and enthusiastically proposed new mechanisms to leverage “billions to trillions” for needed infrastructure and services in which PPPs play a central role. With equal energy, the critique of PPPs has grown, drawing on cases and experiences in both Europe and in low and middle-income countries, for example, the work of EURODAD. Not only are PPPs, in this critique, viewed as enabling corporate capture of the state, they are also challenged as being ineffective and wanting in both transparency and accountability. Feminist critiques have begun to raise serious concerns because PPPs are spreading into areas central to women’s lives and livelihoods: natural resources exploitation, energy, infrastructure, social services. This panel explores the impact of this trend on women´s lives and human rights. Women are affected by displacement from extractivist and mega-infrastructure projects. Their livelihoods, especially those of indigenous and rural women, rooted in ancestral territories and practices, may be at risk. Women´s human rights and environment defenders are especially affected by State and corporate violence, including criminalization and assassination. Women´s labour rights are deeply affected by the race to the bottom in labour standards. Women’s access to basic goods and social services is even more limited when access to common property, public resources and provisioning is privatized. The objective of this panel is to focus discussion on: • Understanding the extent and magnitude of the global push towards PPPs; • Uncovering the impact of PPPs on lives and livelihoods and work from feminist perspectives; and • Explore a framework for analysing how PPPs affect public policy space, raising critical concerns around transparency, accountability and effectiveness.

Session: Developing Capacities for Gender and Economic Policy Making
June 20, 2018 13:50 to 15:40
 
Although some progress has been made in integrating gender in governance and other social sectors, its integration in economic policy and decision making remains a challenge. This constitutes a pressing need to increase the capacity of development planners, researchers, and local authorities to be able to analyze and utilize gender concepts and tools in development planning and practice. To address this issue, UNDP launched Gender and Economic Policy Management Initiative (GEPMI), a capacity development programme that was designed to provide policy makers and development practitioners with the skills and knowledge needed to identify and address gender biases in the economic sectors, and effectively integrate gender in the development policies, strategies and programmes. In 2015, GEPMI was integrated in the Inclusive and Equitable Local Development (IELD) programme, a joint UNCDF, UNDP, and UN Women initiative that aims to reduce structural impediments through local private and public investments to unlock domestic capital for women’s economic empowerment. Application of the GEPMI modules is one of the approaches IELD will use to develop the gender-responsive competencies of the national and local governments for economic policy-making and planning. This event, organized by IELD HQ team during the IAFFE 27th Annual Conference, will bring together academics and development practitioners for the purpose of taking stock of the current policy discourse in the area of feminist economics to revise and to inform the content of the GEPMI modules for both, national policymakers and the local government officials so they would be capable to integrate gender in their day-to-day decisions and understand its impact, securing long lasting systemic change towards more equitable service provision to all its constituents. At the same time, it will allow for the general discussion on “best principles and practices” to deliver gender-responsive economic policy training for national policymakers and local government representatives and examine the differences at the national and local settings. The outcome of this session would be a draft outline of the capacity development modules, both for the national policy makers and the local governments representatives that will inform the revision and the development process of this capacity development programme.

Session: The Future is (not) gendered: Students Voices & Perspective on Health, Family Life & the Workplace
June 21, 2018 8:30 to 10:20
 
ABSTRACT Session: Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights speaks to the right to work, Article 25 relates to health, wellbeing and family life.  As students and young adults examining our future we see this right to work hampered by 3 key issues with a need for creative response from government in terms of legislation, private sector funding, programming and funding, so we may all lead a full life--combining work and family: 1. Access to safe and affordable (and in taxed) menstrual products and birth control so that women may have bodily autonomy. 2. Adequate and paid Maternity and Paternity leave. 3. Adequate and affordable child/eldercare. Most family care does not cover realistic work shifts or handle sick children.   Speakers: Marist College,  Political Science Contemporary Political Theory Presenters and Research Teams: 1.

Session: Structures of constraint: the sexual division of labour
June 21, 2018 8:30 to 10:20
 
Exploring the sexual division of labour from a feminist standpoint, means to assess the existence of, what has been called by Nancy Folbre (1994), “structures of constraint”. The presence of these boundaries determines sets of asset distributions, rules, norms, and preferences that empower given social groups. Structures of constraint shape production, consumption, socio-economic inclusion and social reproduction determining an outcome that may meet the requirements, but may also cause inequality among different groups. The panel proposes a reflection about the relevance of the different dimensions of the sexual division of labour. Among the central research questions, which the stream will aim to address the following: • Which is the role of migration in international gender division of labor? • How long will women be able to deal with a double -or even triple- burden of work? • Is there a gender division of labor in higher education?
