Summary:

"Central Banking, Monetary Policy and Gender uniquely explores the ways in which monetary policies, changes in interest rates and unconventional monetary strategies such as quantitative easing affect women. This groundbreaking book analyses the inner organisation of central banks, considering for the first time how banking transmission mechanisms operate in relation to gender, investigating issues of power, income, wealth inequality and labour market dynamics. Editors Louis-Philippe Rochon, Sylvio Kappes and Guillaume Vallet bring together internationally renowned scholars to present cutting-edge research. Chapters discuss the role of monetary policy in the gender pension gap; the impact of inflation reduction policies on female and male employment rates; the gender politics of comportment in central banking; the inner organisation of central banks and how financial crises can create systemic discrimination. Contributors advocate for looking beyond the traditional roles of central banks, encouraging scholars and practitioners to assess strategies and frameworks from alternative perspectives such as gender to highlight systemic inequalities and campaign for better, more equitable practices going forward. Offering a novel approach to central banking and monetary policy, this book will be invaluable to academics, students and researchers in political economy, feminist economics, and public policy. Its practical and timely guidance will also be of interest to professionals working in the banking, economic and financial sectors"-- Provided by publisher.
