Gender and economics: Who cares about care? – The weather

This summer, Le Temps has entrusted its rooms dedicated to opinions to six personalities, each on a theme and a week. Lynn Bertholet, head of the Epicène association, moderates this fifth week dedicated to gender issues. Here you can find all contributions from his guests.

Most economic, political or private decisions obscure this Care like an invisible elephant, all the more invisible because it is gendered and unpaid most of the time. The translation of Care Since the single word “care” is reductive, we take the liberty of using Anglicism in this article

Although there are different definitions of CareWe agree that it is all about services and caring for people. Within the domestic sphere, the service is generally free (education of children, role of carer, management of the home itself, etc.), but it is paid when it is carried out outside the domestic sphere (care, teaching, hairdressing, etc.). These jobs are predominantly female and poorly paid.
