ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate to what extent the Argentine Decree
475/2021, which recognizes maternal care as a contribution time for retirement,
favors the insertion of Care Economics as a practice of human rights promotion
and defense within the scope of Feminist Economics. This theoretical-empirical
research uses the conceptual framework of Feminist Economics, qualitatively
approached to classify the Argentine case according to its relevance for the
entering of the gender topic in the global human rights agenda. Primary and
secondary sources were consulted for analytical-descriptive purposes and lead
us to consider that the aforementioned Decree constitutes a contribution in
line with the Feminist Conciliation Economy. Contributions concerning the
inclusion of a feminist perspective in public policies to mitigate economic
gender disparities. Despite not presenting a priori effective breaks with the
market logic and androcentric precepts of traditional economics, it was
influenced by the context of political praxis and demands of the international
feminist movement and the Argentine struggle for women's rights.
Keywords: Care economics; Feminist economics; Human rights; gender equality; Argentina.
