357: Feminist Economics and the Future of Care Work with Lucía Cirmi Obón
Episode 357
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
Care has always been at the center of our lives. So why has it never been at the center of our economy?In this episode, feminist economist Lucía Cirmi Obón joins us to unpack something most of us have felt but never had the language for: that the daily work of raising children, caring for family, and holding communities together is not separate from economic life. It is economic life.Drawing from her years inside Argentina's national government and her ongoing work in feminist economics, Lucía makes a compelling case: economies that ignore care don't just fail women. They fail everyone.This is a conversation for the woman who has ever felt the weight of invisible labor, wondered why the systems around her weren't built to support her, or simply wanted to understand the bigger picture behind the struggles she faces every day.In this episode, you'll discover:What feminist economics teaches us about valuing real lifeWhy care work has been historically overlooked and how that's changingThe connection between care, inequality, and economic systemsLessons from Argentina's approach to care policies and community careHow to think critically about mainstream economic narrativesThe future of work and why care jobs are essential and growingThe role of men, families, and communities in building more balanced systemsThe most personal things in your life like who cares for your children, who will care for you when you're older, how much of yourself you give before anyone gives back, these are not private matters. They are political ones. And this episode will help you see them that way.✨ Ease in understanding that the overwhelm so many of us carry isn't a personal failing. It's a structural one. Lucía's work is a reminder that when care is treated as a collective responsibility rather than a woman's burden, something in us finally gets to exhale.✨ Joy in discovering that your lived experience (the caregiving, the juggling, the invisible labor) is not separate from the big economic debates. It's the evidence. This episode has a way of making you feel less alone in what you carry, and more connected to a global movement working to change it.✨ Impact in seeing how feminist ideas that once lived only on the margins are now shaping legislation, policy, and international conversation. Every woman who speaks up, names the imbalance, or simply refuses to accept the status quo is part of that momentum.✨ Self-trust in the quiet confidence Lucía models throughout this conversation. She has walked into rooms that weren't built for her perspective and made her voice heard anyway, not by abandoning her values, but by rooting deeper into them. ---✨ The Well Woman Show is delighted to partner with the Work and Family Researchers Network and its next conference June 17-20, 2026 in Montreal, Canada.
