CWW at 40th International Association for Time Use Research (IATUR) Conference

Researchers affiliated with Counting Women's Work and the National Transfer Accounts project will present their findings at the 40th IATUR conference in Budapest, Hungary, October 24-26.

The first time Counting Women's Work research was presented to this group of researchers was at the 38th IATUR conference in 2016. The collaboration between CWW researchers and IATUR has grown steadily since that time and several CWW and NTA papers will be presented. View the full program here.

The following papers by CWW and National Transfer Accounts project researchers will be presented at the 40th IATUR conference, to be held in Budapest, Hungary, October 24-26:

Hyun Kyung Kim, “Development of Korean Household Production Satellite Accounts and Korean National Time Transfer Accounts using Korean Time Use Survey Data”
Marta Marszałek, “The National Time Transfer Accounts and the Satellite Household Production Account for Poland, Intergenerational economy of women and men”
Lili Vargha, Gretchen Donehower, “The Quantity-Quality Tradeoff: a Cross-Country Comparison of Unpaid Care Time Investments Per Child in Relation to Fertility”

CWW Collaborates with Care Work and the Economy Project

Researchers from CWW will join the 2018 annual meeting of the Care Work and the Economy Project (CWE-GAM) in Berlin, Germany in October 21-23, 2018.

Researchers from CWW, including Principal Investigator Gretchen Donehower, Project Coordinator Morné Oosthuizen, and CWW Ghana research team leader Professor Eugenia Amporfu will join the 2018 annual meeting of the Care Work and the Economy Project (CWE-GAM) in Berlin, Germany in October 21-23, 2018.

The CWE-GAM project has three main aims:

To develop innovative tools to measure and model care,
To develop gender-aware macromodels (GAM) that integrate gender and care work into the applied economic tools at the heart of economic policymaking, and
To rethink macroeconomic models so that they include gender and unpaid care work as essential elements of understanding economies in a more complete way for more accurate understanding and policy analysis.

Given CWW’s focus on measurement as well as our global reach, collaboration with CWE-GAM is a natural fit. Donehower, Oosthuizen, and Amporfu will attend the meetings, provide feedback on project plans and outputs, and discuss possibilities for further collaboration in the future.
