    Description

    This paper develops the concept of unpaid care work within the framework of market systems. It shows that unpaid care is a substantial proportion of the work carried out by poor families, especially women, with many heavy, inefficient or unequally distributed tasks limiting productivity and mobility, among other factors, for market work. Thus unpaid care is a significant factor affecting the functioning of markets, and the degree to which poor families are able to benefit from markets. Where programmes ignore this relationship, it can be detrimental for both social outcomes linked to care and for market activities.

    The paper proposes that market systems programmes should, at a minimum, incorporate an understanding of care work into market analysis, to avoid unintended consequences and ensure that women as well as men benefit from interventions.

    The ideas set out in this document will be further explored through field research and conversations with practitioners.

    This research is being led by the Institute of Development Studies, in collaboration with Oxfam GB and their Ethiopia team, and has been commissioned by BEAM Exchange.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
