29FMM - Gendering Macroeconomics - Plenary Session I - Elson

29th FMM Conference: gendering Macroeconomics Plenary Session I: Taking stock of 30 years of gendering macroeconomics and moving forward Thirty years of thinking on gender and macroeconomics Diane Elson (Professor Emerita of sociology at the University of Essex) Diane Elson opens the first plenary session on “Thirty years of thinking on gender and macroeconomics”. She provides an overview of the development of gendered macroeconomics, explaining how and why gender and inequality aspects were silenced. She demonstrates how gender aspects can be incorporated into macroeconomic models and explores their short-term and long-term impacts. 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.
