Can policy successfully address women’s economic inequality without increasing inter-household economic inequality?
Focusing only on increasing the employment rates and earnings of women who have completed secondary and tertiary educationi s likely to increase inter- household inequality
This is particularly likely if accompanied by the privatization and marketisation of provision of infrastructure and care services that reduce unpaid work
To avoid this, policy must also improve the earnings and conditions of work of low income women who are already employed ( including through policies to raise the ‘floor’ through minimum wages and employment guarantees)
And ensure low income women have access to affordable, publically provided infrastructure and care services
