Levy Economics Institute Presents

Macroeconomic Policies and Care: Exploring Intersections

Join the Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy for a lecture and discussion with Raquel Coello Cremades, UN Women Policy Advisor. Cremades will discuss how care work requires a new conceptualization of the economic system to appropriately integrate its scope and quality. Its relationship with fiscal policy is reciprocal, as the strengthening and expansion of fiscal space are crucial for adequately financing policies and systems.

Dr. Coello Cremades's presentation will be followed by an open Q&A session with audience members.

Register to attend the event via Zoom here.
