Employer of Last Resort Policy and Feminist Economics: Social Provisioning and Socialization of Investment

Zdravka Todorova

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The paper discusses the Employment of Last Resort (ELR) policy proposal that has emerged from Post Keynesian theory as an embodiment of what Keynes called “socialization of investment,” as well as an avenue for a social provisioning approach towards socialization of unpaid care labor. Intersections between Post Keynesian and feminist economics are delineated. The paper proposes avenues for input from feminist economics into formulation of an ELR policy, and raises questions about transformation of gender relations.
