Growing the core economy: Gender, time and sustainable development

Anna Coote

Local Economy, 2012, vol. 27, issue 8, 788-795

Abstract: This Viewpoint considers the case for making more and better use of uncommodified human resources to meet social needs and improve well-being for all. To do this in ways that reduce rather than widen inequalities, it will be necessary to redistribute paid and unpaid time more evenly across the population, especially between women and men.
