A vision, a promise… providing a space for research-based activism

IAFFEThe International Association for Feminist Economics is an open, diverse community of academics, activists,

policy theorists, and practitioners from around the world. Our common cause is to further gender-aware and

inclusive economic inquiry and policy analysis with the goal of enhancing the well-being of children, women,

and men in local, national, and transnational communities.

By opening new areas of economic inquiry, welcoming diverse voices, and encouraging critical exchanges,

IAFFE’s many activities and award-winning journal provide needed space for a variety of theoretical perspec-

tives and advance gender-based research on contemporary economics issues. The working version of IAFFE’s

mission statement, above, captures these objectives.

A tradition of Member ResearchLynda Pickbourn, an IAFFE member, did field-research in 2011 for her dissertation “Migration, Remittances

and Intra-household Allocation in Northern Ghana: Does Gender Matter?” In her dissertation, Pickbourn

examined the impact of remittances from rural-urban migrants on intra-household resource allocation in

northern Ghana.

The scene is a powerful display of the sense of community that holds the village together. On a typical day,

these women have much to do – fetching water, gathering firewood, cooking meals, bathing children, gather-

ing sheanuts to make sheabutter, parboiling rice or extracting oil from groundnuts, and carrying out a myriad

of other labor-intensive economic activities to ensure that they are able to meet their responsibilities for

household provisioning. Yet, they willingly contribute their labor to communal activities such as this.

In a community, each compound consists of a collection of huts built around an open yard where family

members gather to cook, eat meals, and interact with each other. The laying and finishing of the floor of the

compound, as well as its maintenance, usually takes place in March or April, after the harvest, and before the

next planting season, and is considered to be the work of women.

When a compound needs a new floor, all the compounds in the community contribute at least one (female)

member to help with the task of carrying sand, mud and water to the compound. The women of the com-

pound start the day by boiling the roots and seed pods of the dawadawa (locust-bean) tree to produce a deep

red liquid; this liquid will be mixed with the sand and mud (and occasionally cow-dung) until the mixture

acquires a clay-like consistency. The addition of the liquid serves multiple functions: it helps the floor to

harden, reduces its porosity and adds color. Each woman brings a wooden mallet. The women spread the

wet sand mixture around the compound, and then beat it with their mallets in unison. As they do so, they

sing in accompaniment to the rhythm of their mallets. The finished floor is smooth, hard and durable.



Diverse Membership

In 2011, IAFFE consisted of 603 members from 66 countries. Members hailed from around the world, including from

the African Union (44 members), Asian countries and territories (87), European countries and territories (152), North

America (263), South America (26), and Australia and New Zealand (31).

Dear Friends,IAFFE has now entered its third decade. In a world of rapid economic and political change, it is proving

clearer than ever that a forum for researchers and scholars of feminist economics from different parts

of the world is of crucial importance.

The 20th Annual Conference of IAFFE was held in Hangzhou at Zhejiang Gongshang University June

24-26, 2011. It was attended by 225 participants from 52 countries, and 32 in the Global South.

Generous support for the conference was provided by the Swedish International Development Coop-

eration Agency (SIDA), the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) - Berlin (Germany) and the Ford Foundation

(China). The assistance of these agencies allowed many researchers and scholars from the Global

South and throughout the world to participate in the conference, network with others who share in the

interest of feminist economics, and explore new ideas and policies to improve the condition of women

and children throughout the world.

I would also like to express our gratitude to Zhejiang Gongshang University for hosting our conference

and for their generous support of our many conference activities.

During 2011, the strategic planning exercise for IAFFE’s future work engaged IAFFE members through

questionnaires, group work and lively exchange of ideas. Exploring views of new opportunities, new

challenges and extending membership interaction also with new actors has provided a wide array of

ideas. The new strategic plan will be discussed and finalized during 2012, and then put into action.

As university funding for research may be less available in countries with economic difficulties, it is

extremely important that IAFFE finds attractive and efficient ways of sharing research results, initiating

new ways of working across geographical and language borders, keeping costs for participants down

and the intellectual level high as ever. As IAFFE president, I am proud to report that IAFFE membership

is diverse, strong and very active in initiating, performing, presenting and disseminating important

feminist economic research.

Fostering a Culture of ImpactFrom the outset, in its vision and membership, IAFFE has sought to be inclusive and open, a global com-

munity of economists and non-economists, of academics, practitioners, and activists who are interested in

feminist viewpoints on questions of economic analysis, policy, and practice. Our goals are wide-ranging and

include creating collaborations to develop feminist analyses of economic issues; educating economists, policy

makers, and the general public on feminist points of view on economic matters; providing aid in expanding

opportunities for women, especially women from underrepresented groups within economics; and encour-

aging inclusion of feminist perspectives in the economics classroom. Current initiatives include a number of

path breaking special issues of Feminist Economics. In 2011 the journal published the second of two special

issues on Unpaid Work, Time Use, Poverty, and Public Policy, guest edited by Caren Grown, Maria Floro, and

Diane Elson. Special issues in progress (detailed below) address a variety of urgent concerns.

In addition, many IAFFE members are working to educate nonacademic audiences in feminist economic

issues. IAFFE member and former president Nancy Folbre has been contributing to the New York Times

Economix blog since 2008, while during 2011, IAFFE member Susan Feiner posted on economics and gender

issues to the Ms. magazine blog. In the UK, IAFFE member and Feminist Economics Associate Editor Jane

Humphries presented “The Children Who Built Victorian Britain” (February 2011), a BBC 4 documentary

examining “a world where 12-year-olds went to war at Trafalgar and six-year-olds worked the fields as human

scarecrows.” Humphries’s look at the role of child labor in the Industrial Revolution opens a window on cur-

rent international debates on the issue.

Gender and International MigrationWomen are increasingly prominent in international migration, and by 2005 represented almost half of the

total number of international migrants, with many more women now migrating on their own rather than in

association with other family members. Increase in migration of women is partly in response to the care crisis

that has emerged in the North. An aging population and more women taking paid jobs have intensified the

need for caregivers. In some Asian societies shortfalls of women are generating international migration of

marriageable women. In general, women migrants tend to be located at the lower echelons of labor markets,

working in temporary and unstable jobs in the manufacturing and service sectors. Their jobs are often poorly

paid and reserved almost exclusively for migrant women. These employment conditions call for active labor

policies in migrant-receiving countries, particularly anti-discrimination measures and social protection poli-

cies.

Migration can be especially disruptive in rural communities. The women or men who are “left behind” tend

to assume new responsibilities, which can be burdensome. In their newly found roles, whether as head of

household or as the migrant breadwinner, women may exercise greater agency in decision-making. Welfare

of the children left behind is also an issue of concern: children may benefit to the extent that remittances

improve their nutrition, health, and schooling prospects, but the increased care burdens in the migrant’s

household may also deprive daughters from schooling when they have to pick up these activities.

These issues highlight the importance of gender in the analysis of migration and in policy discussions. In

2011, editing was completed on a special issue of Feminist Economics that examines the various intersec-

tions of gender and migration. Guest edited by Lourdes Benería, Carmen Diana Deere, and Naila Kabeer;

generous support was provided by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the Urrutia

Elejalde Foundation, Rice University, and the University of Utah.

2011 AnnuAl REpoRt


land, Gender, and Food SecurityHunger and food security have long been central issues in feminist economic analyses. The global food price

crisis of 2007–8, which was followed by economic recession and financial crisis, foreshadowed the intercon-

nectedness of food and energy policies and the vulnerability to rising food prices of the vast numbers of poor

and chronically malnourished people throughout the world. Diminishing access to food for growing numbers

of the poor in regions of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as land grabs by richer countries demonstrate the sense

of urgency for examining the multifaceted nature of the growing food security problem. Because women play

critical roles in the supply and consumption of agricultural products, these interdisciplinary efforts must also

focus on the gendered dimensions of these problems.

Women, as producers and consumers, and in their intimate role in the process of provisioning in the house-

hold, must be included at all stages in the analysis of solutions surrounding the growing food crisis. Are poor

women small holders being squeezed out as large companies lease or buy the land? What are the impacts on

intrahousehold allocation, agricultural productivity, and household food security? These large land deals are

examined in a forthcoming special issue of Feminist Economics, guest edited by Cheryl R. Doss, Gale Sum-

merfield, and Dzodzi Tsikata, and supported by the Ford Foundation, Rice University, and the University of

Utah.

Gender, Economics, and Muslim Communities Contributions to this forthcoming special issue, guest edited by Ebru Kongar, Jennifer Olmsted, and Elora

Shehabuddin, explore new insights into women’s economic well-being in Muslim communities while inter-

rogating the prevailing discourses about women’s participation in these communities. Generously supported

by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Rice University, and University of Utah, the

issue will help close the gaps in our knowledge of the links between gender, economic well-being, and the

varying influences of religion – gaps caused by gender-blind analyses and unexplored assumptions and gen-

eralizations regarding Muslim women’s experiences.



Engendering Economic policy in AfricaIn recent years, feminist economists and gender and development scholars have drawn attention to the

adverse effects in Africa of policies associated with the Washington Consensus, including trade liberaliza-

tion, strict anti-inflationary policies, and privatization of government functions. As these policies particularly

disadvantage women and the poor, a variety of voices have emerged critiquing their underlying assumptions

and renewing efforts to promote alternate pathways to gender equity, well-being, and sustainable economic

development. A forthcoming special issue of the journal, guest edited by Caren A. Grown, Abena D. Oduro,

and Irene van Staveren, will bring together new research aimed at challenging and improving economic poli-

cies in Africa.

The special issue is part of an overall project supported by a generous 2011 grant from the Swiss Agency for

Development and Cooperation, as well as by Rice University and the University of Utah, that has two primary

goals: helping to develop and disseminate more effective poverty-alleviation policies in Africa, with a particu-

lar emphasis on incorporating the gender dimension into the formulation, implementation, and monitoring

of these social and economic policies; and providing the mentoring, capacity building , and detailed editing

assistance to interested African scholars in the special issues and in other highly ranked, peer-reviewed jour-

nals – thereby ensuring their voices are heard in the debates that matter most to them.

Blogging at Economix:IAFFE member and former president Professor Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, has

been contributing to the New York Times Economix blog almost every week for three-and-a-half years. Her

instructions were to focus on “analysis” rather than “opinion,” though she notes that it’s hard to separate the

two. She often writes on issues of direct relevance to feminist economics, but she also tries to stay keyed into

current events, like the current political debate on unfunded government liabilities.

2011 AnnuAl REpoRt


Grants and in-kind supportIAFFE received significant grant support in 2011 through the second installment of a three-year (2010-12)

grant, $1.5 million grant from the Swedish International Development Corporation Agency (SIDA). This funding

provided vital travel grant support to bring scholars and activists to the IAFFE Annual Conference to discuss

such topics as time use, gender budgeting, and gender implications of the current economic crisis. In addi-

tion, IAFFE received funding from a $250,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to fund a special issue on the

important and very timely subject of land, gender, and food security. In May 2011, IAFFE was awarded and

received the first installment of a $230,000 grant from the Swiss Development and Cooperation Agency (SDC)

for the Engendering Economic Policy in Africa Project. This endeavor will include publication of a special issue

of Feminist Economics, formulation and implementation of effect poverty-alleviation policies in Africa (with an

emphasis on incorporating a gender dimension), and capacity building among emerging African scholars. Also

received in 2011 was funding of approximately $19,000 from the Juan Urrutia Elejalde Foundation, to provide

partial support for a workshop for a Feminist Economics special issue on Gender and International Migration.

Finally, IAFFE and the journal benefited from generous in-kind support from Rice University, University of Utah,

and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, as well as the law firm of Weil, Gotshal, and Manges, which provided

pro bono legal services in a wide variety of areas.
