abstract: 'The failure of orthodox economic policies to generate growth and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eradicate poverty has led to renewed interest in social policies. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
return to `the social'' has seen contending conceptualizations of social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy, premised on different values, priorities and understandings of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state responsibility, vying for influence. This article argues that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
currently dominant agenda of social sector restructuring is likely to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
entrench gender inequalities in access to social services and income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supports because of its failure to recognize the structures that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
underpin those inequalities, which are pervasive across labour markets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the unpaid care economy. Despite the `pro-poor'' and occasionally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`pro-women'' rhetoric, the design of social policies remains largely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
blind to these gender structures. Addressing them would require a major
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rethinking of dominant approaches, placing redistribution more firmly at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the heart of policy design, valuing and supporting unpaid care, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing incentives for it to be shared more equally between women and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men, and between families/houscholds and society more broadly.'
