Embedding Care and Unpaid Work in Macroeconomic Modeling: AStructuralist Approach
将有偿和无偿照料劳动嵌入结构主义宏观经济模型，区分“自私”与“利他”两种经济类型，分析不同宏观条件下照料责任分担对经济结果的影响。
Abstract This study embeds paid and unpaid care work in a structuralist macroeconomic model. Care work is formally modeled as a gendered input into the market production process via its impact on the current and future labor force, with altruistic motivations determining both how much support people give one another and the economic effectiveness of that support. This study uses the model to distinguish between two types of economies – a “selfish” versus an “altruistic” economy – and seeks to understand how different macroeconomic conditions and events play out in the two cases. Whether and how women and men share the financial and time costs of care condition the results of the comparison with more equal sharing of care responsibilities making the “altruistic” case more likely.
