29FMM - Gendering macroeconomics - Introductory Lecture - Stockhammer

Описание: 29th FMM Conference: gendering Macroeconomics

Introduction to post-Keynesian economics
Engelbert Stockhammer (King‘s College London)

Engelbert Stockhammer opens the introductory workshops with a presentation on “An Introduction to postpost-Keynesian Economics”. He explains the foundations of Postpost-Keynesian Economics and refers to goods, labour and financial markets. He then moves on to the development of gendered postpost- Keynesian macro models and introduces the economics of care regimes.

At the core of the 29th FMM Conference stood the recognition that gender is not a peripheral issue, but a structural dimension shaping macroeconomic outcomes worldwide. This year’s focus was on the interactions between gender and macroeconomics, examining how fiscal policy, crises, and globalization generate differentiated effects for men, women, and non-binary individuals. Persistent gender inequalities, ranging from wage gaps and occupational segregation to the unequal distribution of paid and unpaid work, continue to define labor market dynamics across economies. These disparities are amplified by the systemic undervaluation of care work, much of which remains invisible within conventional economic frameworks yet forms the foundation of social and economic reproduction. The conference explored how closing gender gaps and recognizing the macroeconomic significance of unpaid and care work are essential to achieving inclusive and sustainable development. Moreover, discussions highlighted the intersections of gender, globalization, and climate change, examining how trade patterns, climate conditions, and financial flows differently shape economic opportunities and vulnerabilities across the Global South and North. The 2025 FMM Conference brought together leading voices in feminist and heterodox economics to discuss pathways toward a more equitable global economy.
