This study examines the relationship between unpaid care work, financial well-being, and stress levels among women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic caused downturns in the economies of countries worldwide and led to uncertainties and changes that created conditions for increased stress levels and consequently impaired well-being. In addition to social distancing and lockdown measures to cope with the virus, working from home, home schooling, caring for sick and older family members, and financial problems have added burdens and have proven to be additional personal and family stressors. The findings are based on an online survey conducted among women during the second lockdown in Croatia. Additional unpaid care work and lower financial well-being affect the increased stress felt by women during the pandemic. This is especially pronounced among women who are more involved in paid work. During the pandemic, additional unpaid care work, increased involvement in paid work, and jeopardized financial well-being were stressors for women. Our results indicate the importance of women s free time for their own and their families 'well-being.

Les liens entre art contemporain, histoire coloniale, postcolonialisme et mouvements décoloniaux sont anciens et multiples. Des artistes, en Occident et ailleurs, depuis plusieurs décennies déjà, revisitent opportunément des concepts que les études postcoloniales ont approfondis ou inventés - agency (agentivité), mimicry (mimétisme/simulacre) ou essentialisme stratégique -, en autant d'outils utiles à démêler la complexité des relations coloniales et, au-delà, de toutes les relations de domination. Des auteurs, relevant de ces champs d'études conservant aujourd'hui toute leur actualité politique, théorique et polémique, disent en retour tout l'intérêt qu'ils portent à la création contemporaine. Associant vingt historiens de l'art et chercheurs en littérature, philosophie, droit ou psychanalyse, Postcolonial/Décolonial. La preuve par l'art réunit des textes portant sur des productions artistiques (Betye Saar, Fred Wilson, Sarkis, Lidwien van de Ven, Voluspa Jarpa, Iris Kensmil, Jean Renoir et bien d'autres), des propositions institutionnelles (Centro de Arte y Comunicación de Buenos Aires, Biennale de Venise ou Van Abbemuseum d'Eindhoven), l'historiographie de l'histoire de l'art ou celle du droit. Une place particulière est réservée aux singularités artistiques, théoriques et juridiques en Amérique latine, lieu d'émergence des théories décoloniales--Page 4 de la couverture.

Feminist economics is a school of economic thought and political action that gained important visibility during the 1990s, although its origins can be dated back to the mid-19th century. Since then, feminist economics has developed its own concepts, analytical frameworks, and methodologies. With gender as a central category, it seeks a more integral and humane comprehension of the economy and of the processes of inclusion and exclusion taking place in it. In addition, feminist economics has grown into a political practice that aims at improving the functioning of the economic system so that all people can have access to a dignified life on the basis of equality. This article presents a general systematization of these theoretical and political dimensions, particularly focusing on the critique of the neoclassical paradigm and its political correlates. We connect the epistemological, methodological, and conceptual contributions of feminist economics, as well as its propositions for transformative action, to specific debates on economic issues, such as the ecological emergency, crisis and austerity, the commodification of life, and the liberalization of trade.

This article examines the evolution of the sociotechnical systems that is leading to a massive increase in the overall indebtedness of marginalized populations in the Global South. I analyze the processes through which Big Data (or alternative data) technologies are transforming the infrastructure of fringe finance, the nature of its power relations, and its capacities. The article identifies the consequences of these technological transformations on financial practices and illustrates the qualitative nature of the changes involved. I propose that while these innovations have increased the power of this market to capture value, they have also increased risks to indebted populations and the infrastructure's stability. I argue that these financial practices, enhanced by the power of Big Data, have made the infrastructure of fringe finance dangerously hermetic to careful consideration of the productive capacities of those being targeted for inclusion into the formal financial system, thereby making it potentially dysfunctional.

The World Bank Group’s Women, Business and the Law examines laws and regulations affecting women’s prospects as entrepreneurs and employees across 187 economies. Its goal is to inform policy discussions on how to remove legal restrictions on women and promote research on how to improve women’s economic inclusion. Women, Business and the Law 2019: A Decade of Reform introduces a new index measuring legal rights for women throughout their working lives in 187 economies. The index is composed of 35 data points grouped into eight indicators. The data covers a 10-year period not only to understand the current situation but to see how laws affecting women’s equality of opportunity have evolved over time. The index assesses economic rights at milestones spanning the arc of a woman’s working life: the ability to move freely; starting a job; getting paid; legal capacity within marriage; having children; running a business; managing assets; and getting a pension.

L’économie est l’une des dernières sciences humaines et sociales à avoir intégré le genre. Cet article interroge la résistance de la science économique au genre et montre comment celui‑ci fut finalement introduit, à travers trois moments clés de cette histoire : le débat sur la valeur du travail domestique ; la critique féministe en épistémologie et histoire de la pensée économique ; la construction d’une économie néoclassique du genre à partir des travaux de Gary Becker. Grâce à l’importante production qui en a résulté, l’économie a certes pu rattraper son retard, mais elle a absorbé le genre sans avoir été ébranlée dans ses fondements. L’économie du genre s’est moulée dans les divisions de la science économique.

« L'objectif de cette étude, effectuée par l’économiste Ruth Rose, professeure associée à l’Université du Québec à Montréal, est de présenter un portrait statistique de la situation des femmes québécoises sur le marché du travail, de son évolution au cours des années récentes et de la comparer à celle des hommes, en tenant compte de la diversité de la population féminine. » (2013, 1)
