Feminist economics is a field of study that examines how economic theories and practices affect women and marginalized groups. It challenges traditional economic models that often overlook gender disparities and the unpaid labor typically performed by women, such as caregiving and household work. By incorporating gender analysis, feminist economics aims to create a more inclusive understanding of economic systems. This approach also critiques the ways in which economic policies can perpetuate inequality. Feminist economists advocate for policies that promote gender equity, such as equal pay and access to resources. They emphasize the importance of considering diverse perspectives in economic decision-making to foster a more equitable society.
