This is the second of two special issues of Feminist Economics on Time Use, Unpaid Work, Poverty, and Public Policy. The first appeared in July 2010. An article by the Guest Editors reflecting on the themes of these two issues and their place in feminist economics will be published in January 2012. The contributions in this second special issue all contend that a focus on time use, and on unpaid and paid work, improves our understanding of how economies operate and what impact public policy is likely to have, but they do so in a variety of theoretical and empirical ways, with references to both developed and developing economies.
