I could jump in if there is time. You were talking about budgetary decisions and infrastructure. If you were to include gendered knowledge of economic policy, you would have a different notion of investment, including investment in the care economy and an awareness of the downward pressures from the state cutting back on welfare policies and social services. That has an impact on women's incomes. It certainly hits women of lower social class, and in Europe, of different ethnic minorities. The differences are very significant, but if you don't do any kind of gendered analysis of your economic policy, all of that just goes completely unnoticed.
