Unresolved issues: Equal pay for work of equal value
Previous research points to the under-valuing of working with people (production of services) when compared to working with machines and tools (production of goods). Further, the under-valuing of services (or “care”) mirrors the near invisibility of unpaid care work – the work that mostly women do on an unpaid basis in their homes in the form of housework, care for children, older people and people with disabilities, and the like. This paper take…

South Africa: A Legacy of Family Disruption
This article draws together unusual characteristics of the legacy of apartheid in South Africa: the state-orchestrated destruction of family life, high rates of unemployment and a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. The disruption of family life has resulted in a situation in which many women have to fulfil the role of both breadwinner and care giver in a context of high unemployment and very limited economic opportunities. The question that follows is:…
Formulating and Implementing Socioeconomic Policies for Children in the Context of HIV/Aids: A South African Case Study
Explorations: Time-use surveys in the south
Time-use surveys show how individuals spend their time during the day or week, which provides evidence of the gendered division of labor within households and the interdependence of women's and men's paid and unpaid work. Time-use experts in the South face similar challenges to those working in other countries, but they also have to come to terms with the restrictions faced in less developed contexts – notably higher illiteracy rates and limited …
Children ‘in need of care’ or in need of cash? Social security in the time of Aids
In the face of international pressure and local concern regarding the repercussions of the AIDS epidemic for children in South Africa, as well as the review underway of children's legislation in the country, there is much debate regarding social security provision for children in the context of HIV/AIDS. To date, the State's social security response to the impact of AIDS on children has been to focus its attention on the provision of the Foster C…
The Debate about Household Headship
In this paper, written in 1997 but not previously published, Budlender queries the use of the term and concept of ‘household head’ in censuses and surveys. The term is used to measure very different concepts, and can be operationalised in a wide range of ways. Researchers have begun to examine the term critically in part because of a growing concern with gender inequalities in Southern Africa and elsewhere. The paper reviews whether and how ‘hous…
Gender budgets: What's in it for NGOs
Over the last seven years, there has been increasing interest in gender budget work worldwide. Over 50 countries have had gender budget initiatives of one sort or another. There are, however, big differences between the initiatives in different countries. In particular, in some cases the initiatives have been located inside government; in other cases in Parliament; and in yet others within civil society. This article discusses what gender budgets…

Breaking the Chains: Labour in South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s
Threads of Solidarity: Women in South African Industry 1900-1980
If Women Counted: A New Feminist Economics
This is a revolutionary and powerfully argued feminist analysis of modern economics, revealing how woman's housework, caring of the young, sick and the old is automatically excluded from value in economic theory. An example of this pervasive and powerful process is the United Nation System of National Accounts which is used for wars and determining balance of payments and loan requirements. The author has also written Women, Politics and Power an…
