	Feminist economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminist economics broadly refers to a developing branch of economics that applies feminist insights and critiques to mainstream economics.
		Research under this heading is often interdisciplinary, critical, or heterodox, and discusses the relationship between feminism and economics on many levels: from applying mainstream economic methods to under-researched "women's" areas, to questioning how mainstream economics values the reproductive sector, to deeply philosophical critiques of economic epistemology and methodology.
		It is also often considered part of welfare economics or labour economics, since it emphasizes child welfare, and the value of labour in itself, as opposed to production for a marketplace, the focus of classical economy.

	Feminist Economics Homepage
		Feminist economics is an exciting, dynamic, multi-faceted area of economic inquiry and activism.
		Many feminist economists fault mainstream economic analysis for being "masculinist" viewing the economy from the point of view of men's experience, and defining the typical economic actor as "rational economic man." They seek to construct alternative theoretical approaches and economic concepts which include women's experience and feminine values such as caring, cooperation, and provisioning.
		Some feminist economists assert that since race, class and nationality affect one's experience of gender, they too are an integral part of feminist economics.

	Women & The Economy - Feminist Economics
		Feminist economists also study the impact of Structural Adjustment Programs on women's household work or child care arrangements and their relationship to women's access to the paid work force.
		Feminist economics is necessary because in the past, much of traditional economics has ignored and excluded the experiences of women.
		Economics must recognize that even those who are unable to do paid work have a right to their own income and, therefore, economic independence.

	Principles of Feminist Economics
		As with other branches of economics and other social sciences, feminist economics is constantly evolving in response to new research as well as new economic developments in the world around us.
		Once it is acknowledged that the household is a locus of economic activity, it also becomes apparent that unpaid work, such as the raising of children and all household work, is an essential aspect of any economy which must be recognized.
		Thus feminists have made a point of pushing out the boundaries of traditional economic analysis and investigating subjects and constructing data sets which "encourage research accountable to the well-being of all people" (Strassman 1998, viii).

		Beginning in 1985 and running through at least 1997, there were panels at various economics meetings (including the ASSA), conferences, faculty development programs, workshops, seminars, peer reviewed published papers, as well as a number of edited volumes produced by feminist economists and aimed at deep transformation of the teaching of economics.
		Feminism and Methodology philosopher Sandra Harding argues that one of the key distinctive features of feminist research is that the researcher places her/himself and the subject of research “on the same plane.” This epistemological position has direct application in pedagogy.
