The European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research is pleased to welcome Professor Nancy Folbre as the speaker in its International Seminar Series.

In this seminar, Professor Folbre will present a conceptual framework for understanding intergenerational and inter-gender transfers of both time and money, exploring how contemporary institutional arrangements shape the distribution of care in affluent societies. Drawing on decades of research in the political economy of care, the seminar will examine the relationships between private and public transfers beyond the market and discuss the broader social and economic implications of care provision.

The presentation will be followed by an interactive discussion, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speaker.
