This year's lecture will be given by Professor Jane Humphries, All Souls College Oxford and London School of Economics, a Professor of Economic History.

Jane’s lecture is titled: ‘Do economists care?’

Economists’ neglect of unpaid caring and household labour has long been recognised as problematic for the estimation of output and wellbeing. The lecture explores this neglect and its implications as well as attempts to assign valuations from market equivalents. Recognition of the value of caring and housework enhances understanding of economic life.

RES President, Professor Mary Morgan will chair the lecture.
