Balanced Job Complexes

Description

Christoph Sorg:

"the Parecon principle of ‘balanced job complexes’ overlaps with Fraser’s universal care-giver, as it advocates workers taking on different tasks to combat hierarchies arising from divisions of labor. The authors also suggest caucuses for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersexed community, people of color, and people with disabilities to tackle other forms of discrimination. Unequal distribution of reproductive tasks within households is harder to confront and at the same time, needs to be balanced with concerns for privacy. However, women’s caucuses in neighborhood councils could provide moral support for women, cooking and cleaning classes for men and combat gender biases in consumption decisions."
