Guest: Naila Kabeer, Emeritus Professor of Gender and Development, London School of Economics (LSE)
If one wishes to understand how gender, power, and economic development intersect in shaping women’s lives and choices, and how women — particularly women in the Global South — renegotiate patriarchal structures in households, communities, and labor markets, look no further than Naila Kabeer. Professor Dr Naila Kabeer is a British-Bangladeshi feminist economist and an Emeritus Professor of Gender and Development at the London School of Economics (LSE). She has written a number of important books, including her latest, Renegotiating Patriarchy: Gender, Agency and the Bangladesh Paradox.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Naila Kabeer about feminist economics, what we can learn about women’s rights from the garment industry in Bangladesh, and some big-picture challenges faced by Malaysian women, including bridging the gap between education levels and labour force participation.
