Issue 2 on 'Gendering Macroeconomics' is now available

Gender plays a crucial role in macroeconomics both in terms of how macroeconomic policy or crises have different gendered effects on women and men, and how gender inequalities affect macroeconomic outcomes. These disparities are often deeply entwined with labour market dynamics, where gender wage gaps, gendered and racial profiling of jobs and segregation, and inequalities in the distribution of paid and unpaid work persist. Such inequities are further compounded by the systemic undervaluation of unpaid labour as well as paid care work, disproportionately carried out by women. Addressing these imbalances requires policies, which aim to close gender gaps and promote inclusive development. Equally critical is examining the intersection of globalization, climate change and gender, revealing how trade, climate conditions, and financial flows reshape inequalities in the Global South and North.

The contributions to this issue address these themes and challenges. They draw mainly from the plenary sessions of the 29th Conference of the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM) on 'Gendering Macroeconomics'.
