Contributions Feminist Economics Can Make to the Quality of Life Movement

Patrice Flynn

Feminist Economics, 1999, vol. 5, issue 2, 133-137

Abstract: This article articulates how and why feminist economists can move the quality of life literature forward and help it become a solid part of the social sciences rather than a subject whose perceived value fluctuates with political winds. Readers are challenged to consider and critique a proposed set of expectations to clearly define the field and set standards of excellence. Examples of this approach are provided from the experiences of an economic research firm striving to build on these guidelines in its work with nonprofit and for-profit organizations that design, fund, evaluate, and/or deliver programs that impact quality of life.
