In the 21st century, no one can deny the influence of globalization on politics, the economy, and culture. At the same time, they are all deeply entwined in issues of gender. This forum, taking the Asia-Pacific region as its focus, will attempt to reformulate the problems of development and social reconstruction, from the viewpoint of macroeconomics and gender.With the theme “macroeconomics and gender,” we will clarify the circuits through which topics which had previously been treated in only a gender-neutral way in economics taxation, finance, social welfare, trade, investment, labor, leisure time, carework, unpaid labor, international migration, etc. are actually entwined with gender. And depending on the relationship between national and local government and the local community, not to mention periods of crisis such as in disasters, etc., through policies, systems and cultural norms, all of the above topics become manifest in very different ways.
We hope that this forum, held at a time of striking change and crisis, will provide an opportunity to share our knowledge and practical experience anew towards an alternative development and social reconstruction. We look forward to your active participation.
