Gender plays a crucial role in many macroeconomic areas, including, for example, how fiscal policy or crises generate different outcomes for men, women, and non-binary individuals, and gender inequalities have substantial macroeconomic consequences. These disparities are often deeply entwined with labor 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 inequalities are further compounded by the systemic undervaluation of unpaid labor 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. Therefore, this year's FMM conference focuses on the interactions between gender and macroeconomics. Panel discussions with renowned keynote speakers will take place on the evenings of the conference. Elissa Braunstein (Colorado State University), Diane Elson (University of Essex), Caren Grown (Brookings Institute), İpek İlkkaracan (İstanbul Technical University), Özlem Onaran (University of Greenwich), Miriam Rehm (University Duisburg-Essen), Margit Schratzenstaller (Austrian Institute of Economic Research), Ajit Zacharias (Levy Economics Institute) and Izaskun Zuazu (University Duisburg-Essen) have confirmed their participation.
There will be a day of introductory lectures for graduate students on 23rd October prior to the opening panel, featuring the following topics in heterodox economics:
- Jan Behringer (IMK Macroeconomic Policy Institute): Welcome and information on the FMM and its events
- Engelbert Stockhammer (King’s College London): Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics
- Marcella Corsi (Sapienza University of Rome): Patriarchy and How to Measure It
- Elissa Braunstein (Colorado State University): Macroeconomic Policy and Gender Equality
