Join us on Tuesday, January 28, at 12:00 CET for a session that challenges the view of households presented in secondary school economics.
Students are taught an impoverished understanding of households as consumers of market goods and services and providers of a vague set of resources. But households are so much more! They are vital spaces for care, human development, and the regeneration of individuals and communities. Despite being one of the core pillars of economic provisioning, households are largely overlooked, with significant consequences for gender equality and human wellbeing.
This virtual lab will explore the critical functions households play in our economies—and why recognising their full value is key to creating policies that support and strengthen them for more equitable and resilient communities.
We look forward to seeing you!
Get inspired, connect with others and become part of the movement. No matter how big or small your contribution is, you’re welcome to join!
