Care work has effects on both the health impacts and economic impacts of the #COVIDー19 pandemic. @NFolbre is one of the preeminent scholars in understanding the value of this type of work that is crucial to the reproduction if our society. #femeconCOVID19 blogs.umass.edu/folbre/2020/04…

'It's great that we're cheering on care workers every night, but that's not really adequate'. WHY are carers undervalued, underpaid & under protected? Gender & Ethnicity so important. @nfolbre @ #femeconCOVID19 pic.twitter.com/hn3yqEy1dL

"We're seeing an increase in inequality and precarity, and it's not just about inequality in income, but also inequality in access to connection to friends and family and households to sequester in." @NFolbre #femeconCOVID19

International Association for Feminist Economics @IAFFE

.@NFolbre says that we need to support multi-lateral organizations like the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization to address this pandemic. #femeconCOVID19

International Association for Feminist Economics @IAFFE

This crisis has shown a light on stark inequalities that some people didn't realize existed or chose to ignore.... And our failure to learn from crises in the past has exacerbated these inequalities. @N_Kabeer #femeconCOVID19

Joining @IAFFE's first in a series on Feminist Economics perspectives on the pandemic. #femeconCOVID19. Nancy Folbre started by saying #COVID19 is "altering the way we define who a care worker is." pic.twitter.com/B4Z89wNqhp

In the UK, a disproportionate amount of deaths among healthcare workers have been among minority and migrant doctors and nurses. Gender intersects with race, ethnicity, and migrant status in the risks associated with exposure to #coronavirus. @N_Kabeer #femeconCOVID19

"Value is what you get, but price is what they pay" see Prof. Folbre's @NFolbre Care Theory of Value @IAFFE #femeconCOVID19 blogs.umass.edu/folbre/2020/04…

The withdrawal of the exit option of women and children has appeared to embolden men who are inclined to domestic violence. The increase in violence is greater than what can be expected just because of an increase in time spent at home. @N_Kabeer #femeconCOVID19

Lauren McCarthy @genderCSR

Three quarters of health workers in the UK are women, yet Matt Hancock couldn't tell us how many nurses had died from COVID, nor are stats captured for carers in case homes. @N_Kabeer @ #femeconCOVID19

Not to be missed! @IAFFE panel on Feminist Economics Perspectives on COVID-19 featuring @NFolbre, @N_Kabeer and Jeanine Anderson. Stay posted for how to watch the recorded version. #femeconCOVID19 @AEACSWEP @IWPResearch @ICRW @FeministEcon @CSWGSRice twitter.com/iaffe/status/1…

Lauren McCarthy @genderCSR

This wont be the last crisis or last pandemic. We should nationalise basic social services & build a universal safety net as a foundation for resilience. @N_Kabeer @ #femeconCOVID19

Global south countries already have strapped healthcare systems that will impact their ability to respond to the crisis. Jeanine Anderson describes the number of critical care doctors and ventilators available where she is in Peru. #femeconCOVID19

International Association for Feminist Economics @IAFFE

In the global south, social distancing is nearly impossible where most people buy at open-air markets and household workers are at the mercy of employers where they are sheltering. The structure of society prior to the pandemic impacts mitigation and outcomes. #femeconCOVID19

Despite Peru's self-image as a society of caring and mutual aid, we are seeing how much care-taking takes place under conditions of contract and payment. These relationships are shot through with racial, ethnic and gender heirarchies. - Jeanine Anderson #femeconCOVID19
