INTR4044 - International Political Economy Of Development

Assignment Task 

Folbre's (2013) article on the care economy paradigm in Africa argues that subsistence production and unpaid care work are prevalent in the region and have been overlooked in economic development policies. She traces the intellectual history of the care economy paradigm to feminist economists who challenged the neoclassical economic model for failing to account for unpaid care work, highlighting the importance of recognizing gender inequalities and other factors in analyzing households as differentiated units. (Folbre, 2013). Folbre argues that the care economy paradigm grew out of traditional micro- and macroeconomic theory, which fails to recognize the social and emotional value of care work and its contribution to the economy.
