A livestream seminar hosted by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE at Rhodes House, Oxford. The panel explores the assumptions that different countries make about who should care for our sick, the elderly or children in society. Unpaid women around the world grease the wheels of the global economy, so what would it look like to redesign a society around the value of care and change the gender imbalance?They consider what agencies and changes in governmental policies might shift assumptions about gender stereotypes of ‘women’s work’ and what is ‘paid’ and ‘unpaid’ in modern economies. Cuba has a strong focus on care provision, so could other nations learn lessons from the value that Cuba places on care?SPEAKERSEVIE O'BRIEN | Interim Executive Director, ATLANTIC iNSTITUTESARAH STEPHENS | Moderator, Director of the Platform for Innovation and Dialogue with CubaJUSTINE WILLIAMS | Managing Director of the Platform for Innovation and Dialogue with Cuba.DAYBEL PANELLAS | University of HavanaBEVERLEY SKEGGS | LSE/University of Lancaster and Academic Advisor, Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic EquitySAIDI ALI | Senior Atlantic Fellow, Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity FURTHER INFORMATIONAtlantic Institute | https://www.atlanticfellows.org/atlantic-instituteCuba Platform | https://cubaplatform.org/about-cuba-platform
