Episode 05
Indian women do more unpaid work at home than anywhere else in the world - and, of course, more than men. Episode 5 of Women in Labour tackles questions of methodology, division of labour, and nomenclature. Are institutions reproducing patriarchal structures in the world of work? And what in the world can we do about it?! The hilarious and brilliant Dr. Ritu Dewan tells us! With special guest Dr. Ritu Dewan: Dr. Ritu Dewan is the Vice President of the Indian Society of Labour Economics, and President of the Indian Association for Women’s Studies (2014-17). She was, till her retirement, the first-ever woman Director of the Department of Economics, University of Mumbai, and the founder-member of the first Centre for Gender Economics in Asia. She is widely published on a range of issues — with over a hundred publications, including 30 books and monographs.
