Feminist Proposals on Macroeconomic Policies needed for a Covid-19 Economic Recovery

The document advocates for a shift from orthodox economics to feminist macroeconomic approaches in the wake of COVID-19, emphasizing the need to rethink the conceptualization of the economy and the link between production and social reproduction to address gendered inequalities.

• Feminist macroeconomic approaches differ from orthodox economics specifically in how the economy is conceptualised and the perceived relationship between production and social reproduction.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has created an opportunity for global policymakers to rethink the design of macroeconomic policies, as feminists have pointed to the pandemic's gendered economic, political, and social costs.
• There is a call for alternative economic proposals that explicitly acknowledge and address historical inequalities.
