Predominantly in developing countries, muchof the provisioning of basic needs and other conveniences of life occur beyond the boundaries of market transactions. This book combines theoretical, technical and policy-orientated discussion that reveals the need to incorporateunpaid work in economic analysis, specifically in the context of poverty and gender equality.
