Unpaid Work and the Economy: A Gender Analysis of the Standards of Living: Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

Editat de Antonella Picchio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2006
In economics, the voluntary sector is surprisingly understudied. In order to fully understand economics, unpaid and voluntary work needs to be taken into account and afforded the same status as paid activities. This book constitutes a rigorous economic analysis with special emphasis on gender issues and covers every conceivable angle of unpaid work and all its ramifications for the modern economy.
The unified vision offered by this group of leading contributors ensures this book is a work of excellent quality. There is every chance it will become a seminal study on unpaid work and as such will provide a useful reference for students and academics involved in gender studies, econometrics, and consumption studies.

Recenzii

'Both the editor and contributors to this volume should be congratulated. This well-argued book not only bids fundamentally to retheorize 'the economic' but also seeks to shape policy with its findings.' - Progress in Human Geography
