Gendering home: Insights from debt & assets
Gendering home: Insights from debt & assets
Home is often thought of as an economically and politically neutral space – a warm, stable environment for family life to flourish, where household resources are shared equally between women and men.
But as feminist political economists have argued, homes are not always the private, safe and loving spaces we imagine.
A feminist political economy of ‘home’ encourages us to consider the gendered power struggles that often happen behind ‘closed doors.’
In this short research-led teaching video, we take a closer look at household resources and how they are distributed between women and men.

Abstract
Home is often thought of as an economically and politically neutral space – a warm, stable environment for family life to flourish, where household resources are shared equally between women and men.
But as feminist political economists have argued, homes are not always the private, safe and loving spaces we imagine.
A feminist political economy of ‘home’ encourages us to consider the gendered power struggles that often happen behind ‘closed doors.’
In this short research-led teaching video, we take a closer look at household resources and how they are distributed between women and men.
