Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, PhD
Yana Rodgers is a Professor in the Department of Labor Studies and Employment Relations, and in the Department of Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University. She also serves as Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers.
Summary: COVID‐19 has exposed the foundational role of care work, both paid and unpaid, to functioning societies and economies. Women’s physical and mental health, and the societies that rely on them, are at stake. The field of feminist economics has valuable lessons for mitigating hardships as governments formulate policy packages in response to the crisis. Such policies must recognize care work as an integral part of the economic system that promotes human well‐being for all.
