Pro-Poor Growth Strategies in Africa : A Proposed Easy Reference Guide (ERG) to Engender National Accounts and National Budget
The United Nations Beijing Platform for Action (1995) identified women’s non-market work (NMW) as a key area of policy intervention to improve the situation of, especially, women in the non-market economy. And the current approach of promoting gender equality relates to promoting equal opportunities for men and women to enable them to contribute to their own development as well as to the overall national development. Women’s NMW in the care economy, which needs to be measured includes domestic work, care of children, the sick and elderly, and voluntary community work - economic activities that are outside the current production boundary of the 1993 UN System of National Accounts (SNA). Traditional macroeconomics focuses on the “monetized” economy and does not count NMW in national accounts or reward it in national budgets.
