2017 Political Economy Seminar Series

Elizabeth Hill (University of Sydney), ‘Women, Work and Care in the Asia Pacific: work/care regimes in a context of extreme inequality’

Date: Thursday 13 April 2017

Time: 4pm-5.30pm

Location: Darlington Centre Boardroom, University of Sydney

Abstract: This paper will develop a comparative analysis of the social, economic, industrial and migration dynamics that structure women’s experiences of paid work and unpaid care work in the Asia Pacific. The analytical framework provides a multi-dimensional template for understanding and comparing the intersection between care and employment regimes across the region and the impact on economic growth and gender equality. The paper highlights how patterns of economic inequality across the region structure national work/care regimes and frame the politics of women’s work and care.

About the speaker: Elizabeth Hill is Chair of the Department of Political Economy the University of Sydney.

Elizabeth’s research focuses on gender, work and care in both developed and emerging economies. She has published on women’s work and collective action in the Indian informal economy, as well as work and care policy in the Australian economy. Elizabeth is interested in the changing nature of work and care and pathways to improved work/care policy regimes.
