“…In fact, those measures had a negative impact on women in the past, illustrating how public policies addressed to tackle the consequences of the crisis on employment are not gender-neutral (Annesley and Scheele, 2011;EWL, 2012;Maier, 2011, Smith, 2009.…”

“…As men were the major actors in financial markets and in political decision making and the sectors mostly affected by the crisis were male dominated (manufacturing, construction and finance), the Great Recession has been termed a «he--cession» (Annesley and Scheele, 2011;Maier, 2011), suggesting the end of men's dominance in the economic and political world.…”

“…Several studies have addressed the gendered consequences of the crisis on the labour market (Annesley and Scheele, 2011;Maier, 2011;Otobe, 2011;Smith, 2009). Contrariwise, little is known on how unemployment is affecting household work division (Antonopoulos, 2009).…”

This paper analyses the impact of unemployment on the gender division of household work. A sample of 643 dual full-time employed couples and 160 with an unemployed partner was considered. Variance analysis and chi-square tests were performed to analyse the differential impact of the spouses' employment status on the time devoted to domestic and parental work and on the division of household chores among partners. Results show that male unemployment increases men's participation in domestic work only on weekdays while female unemployment constrains women into domestic activities both on week and weekend days. Gender patterns of task division also showed to relate significantly to partners' employment status.Keywords: domestic work, household chores, unemployment, gender inequality. Resumo Desemprego e Igualdade de Género na Família em PortugalO artigo analisa o impacto do desemprego na divisão sexual do trabalho familiar. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 643 casais com duplo emprego a tempo completo e 160 com um parceiro desempregado. Recorreu-se a análises de variância e testes de qui-quadrado para analisar o impacto diferencial da situação dos cônjuges face ao emprego sobre o tempo dedicado ao trabalho doméstico e parental e a divisão das tarefas familiares. Os resultados mostram que o desemprego dos homens aumenta a sua participação somente nos dias de semana, enquanto o desemprego feminino restringe as mulheres às atividades domésticas, todo o tempo. Os padrões de género na repartição de tarefas também revelaram depender de forma significativa da situação profissional dos cônjuges.

“…Prior to the financial crisis and its aftermath, states across the OECD had facilitated the feminisation of the workforce by providing direct employment opportunities for women on relatively favourable terms Rafferty 2013, Annesley andScheele, 2011) and at better rates of pay (Ginn 2013). States have also provided various forms of support for childcare and elder care, enabling women to better manage the dual burden of paid labour, social reproduction and care responsibilities.…”

This article reclaims and invigorates the debate on 'New Materialism' as it is unfolding within Marxist political economy specifically. We choose this site to make our intervention in the debate because, while Marxism claims to makes visible the poor, dispossessed and those 'left behind' in the contemporary global capitalist economy, we discern, in contributions made thus far, a marked tendency to sideline the rich tradition of feminist historical materialist scholarship. We contend that feminist analyses are vital in elucidating the 'gendered face' of global financial crisis and austerity. Accordingly, after first mapping the contours of current discussion, we briefly revisit feminist critiques of Marxism; interrogate the interrelationship between neoliberal capitalism, the gendered nature of labour markets, the 'patriarchal' state and social reproduction and unpaid care work; and, finally, we further develop our argument through an analysis of the gendered impacts of current austerity measures in the United Kingdom.
