本文提出了一个框架，用于理解金融危机及其后果的影响，该框架基于三个相互作用的领域：金融、生产和再生产。所有这些领域都是性别和全球化的。从对失业、就业保护和保障、公共部门服务、社会保障福利、养老金以及工资和生活水平的实际价值的影响的角度，讨论了当前危机的性别影响。根据英国妇女预算小组的分析，这篇论文表明，自2010年以来，保守党领导的政府实施的紧缩政策导致的可支配收入降幅最大的是最脆弱的女性--单身母亲、单身女性养老金领取者和没有孩子的单身女性。没有孩子的工作年龄夫妇受到的影响最小。论文接着讨论了基于女权主义政治经济学的另一种经济战略可能是什么样子。它利用了“生殖交易”的概念，这一概念最初是为了理解古巴在20世纪90年代的转型而发展起来的。它提出了一项可能的女权主义经济战略，坚持将生殖和护理工作纳入对替代经济政策的分析，并将就业、工资和社会保障付款与公共提供跨代生殖服务挂钩。它提出了可行的战略，以资助拟议的F计划--一种女权主义经济战略。
This paper sets out a framework for understanding the impacts of the financial crisis and its aftermath that is based on the idea of three interacting spheres: finance, production and reproduction. All of these spheres are gendered and globalised. The gendered impact of the current crisis is discussed in terms of the impact on unemployment, employment protection and security, public sector services, social security benefits, pensions, and the real value of wages and living standards. Drawing on the analysis of the UK Women’s Budget Group, the paper demonstrates that the biggest falls in disposable income as the result of austerity policies by the Conservative-led government since 2010 have been borne by the most vulnerable women—lone mothers, single women pensioners and single women without children. Working-age couples without children have been least affected. The paper then goes on to discuss what an alternative economic strategy, based on feminist political economy, might look like. It utilises the notion of the ‘reproductive bargain’, first developed to understand the transition in Cuba in the 1990s. It sets out a possible feminist economic strategy that insists on the incorporation of reproductive and care work into the analysis of alternative economic policies and links employment, wages and social security payments to public provisioning of trans-generational reproductive services. It suggests feasible strategies to finance the proposed Plan F—a feminist economic strategy.
