dc.description.abstractThe paper considers the gendered impact of debt relief and associated policy conditions, and points to ways in which debt relief packages can explicitly take into account gendered realities. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic many countries are faced with unpayable debt burdens that urgently require restructuring. Globally, care activities are dominated by women: as unpaid workers, as paid workers, as migrant workers. This is the sector that is typically attacked by fiscal austerity measures, largely because of the cynical assumption that women will take up the slack by delivering care services at lower wages or no wages.en
