The overview provides context for the groundbreaking work of scholars in this special issue and discusses how they extend Deere's work in three main areas: Conceptualizing the peasant household and its links to the capitalist economy; the role of cooperatives a…
Men’s perspectives on public-space sexual harassment of women in South Asia
The ubiquity of public-space sexual harassment (PSH) of women in the global South, particularly in South Asia, is both a public health and gender equity issue. This study examined men's experiences with and perspectives on PSH of women in three countries with shared cultural norms and considerable gender inequalities - Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The three-country survey in 2021-2022 was completed by 237 men who were generally young, urban, …
Capability Approach Lens to Public-space Sexual Harassment of Women
Sexual harassment of women and girls in public spaces is often trivialised by the “eve-teasing” label in South Asia. While extensive research exists on domestic violence in South Asia, the literature on public-space sexual harassment (PSH) is sparse. This is the first study to articulate and examine a broad range of consequences of PSH using a capability approach lens. Based on an online survey conducted during 2021–22 in Bangladesh, India, and P…

Understanding the Gender System in Rural Turkey
Contemporary appraisals of feminist ethnographic methods have raised questions about the ethics of feminists&s; research on women less powerful than themselves and drawn attention to the associated fieldwork dilemmas. Many argue that the nationality, class, race, and ethnicity differences between researcher and researched cannot be erased by research methods that attempt to generate intimacy and a sense of commonality of interests as women. Furth…
To Measure and to Narrate
This contribution engages with the question of measurement of economic well-being from a feminist ecological perspective. It starts from the dual premises that it is necessary to recognize and value as important the economic, social, and environmental contributors to economic welfare and desirable for ecological and feminist economists to collaborate in moving toward a sustainable future. The study examines the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), f…
Beyond the rhetoric of gender equality at the World Bank and the IMF
This article reviews the rhetoric and practice of the IMF and the World Bank in promoting gender equality. It shows that these institutions, in making the case for the synergy between gender equality and economic growth, neglect both the potential of gender wage inequality to stimulate growth and the macroeconomic enabling conditions for gender equality. In practice, they fall short in promoting gender equality due to their limited conception of …
Efficiency arguments for gender equality
In the last decade, the case for promoting gender equality has increasingly taken on broad efficiency arguments to bolster the intrinsic or social justice argument for gender equality. Through anal

Time Allocation of Married Mothers and Fathers in Hard Times
Using American Time Use Survey (ATUS) data for 2003–10, this study examines whether the 2007–09 recession contributed to gender equality in married mothers’ and fathers’ paid and unpaid work hours. Trend analysis shows that the recession narrowed the disparity in both paid and unpaid work hours, as mothers substituted paid work for unpaid work and fathers’ paid work hours declined. If the jobless recovery after June 2009 is included in the recess…

Gender and Racial Training Gaps in Oregon Apprenticeship Programs
This study uses microdata to measure three types of training gaps by gender and minority status in Oregon apprenticeship programs: probability of graduation, time to graduation, and the quantity of training acquired by quitters. Apprentices who started training between 1991 and 2002 are tracked through 2007. After adjusting for individual, institutional, and occupational attributes, the authors find that white women apprentices were substantially…
Feminist Economics of Inequality, Development, and Growth
This study examines connections between intergroup inequality and macroeconomic outcomes, considering various channels through which gender, growth, and development interact. It upholds the salience not only of equality in opportunities but also equality in outcomes. The contribution argues that inequalities based on gender, race, ethnicity, and class undermine the ability to provision and expand capabilities, and it examines the macroeconomic po…
China's Transition and Feminist Economics
Since 1978 China has been undergoing transition from a socialist to a capitalist economy and the opening up to international trade and investment. This process has been accelerated by WTO membership. This article presents an overview of the gendered processes and outcomes associated with China's reforms, mainly focusing on the post-1992 period when the pace of reforms accelerated. The imperative for accumulation and efficiency has resulted not on…

Mature Export-Led Growth and Gender Wage Inequality in Taiwan
After 1980, the Taiwanese economy was marked by technological change, growing overseas investment by Taiwanese firms, and continuing success with export-oriented manufacturing. In the manufacturing sector these developments coincided with a decline in women's employment opportunities relative to men's, a shift from wage to salaried employment, and an increase in gender wage inequality. Using industry-level panel data, this study investigates the …

The Need for Crossing the Method Boundaries in Economics Research
Feminist economists should make greater use of qualitative methods and enhance the complementarities between survey and qualitative methods. This will facilitate three outcomes of value for feminist economics: uncover and correct androcentric biases in survey-generated data/analyses; advance theory and empirical research on the processes that underlie economic outcomes; broaden the range of topics to include those on the margins of the discipline

State Policy in the 1980s and the Future of Women's Rights in Turkey
The 1980s witnessed the rise of feminist and Islamic fundamentalist movements in Turkey. In diametrically opposed ways, both movements pushed the debate over women's issues and rights in Turkey into the spotlight of public discussion. The feminist movement made visible, and condemned, acts of physical violence against women, problematized women's lack of substantive rights, and the articles of the Criminal Code that discriminate against women. Fo…
