About Odile Mackett
I am an associate professor in the discipline of Development Studies and an economist by training. I have a MCom in Applied Development Economics and a PhD from the 欧美福利100000 of the Witwatersrand. I also have a BA International Studies (majoring Politics & Economics) and a BCom (Hons) in International Trade and Finance from the 欧美福利100000 of Johannesburg. I previously worked in the 欧美福利100000 of the Witwatersrand鈥檚 School of Governance, as well as the 欧美福利100000 of South Africa鈥檚 Department of Economics and Graduate School of Business Leadership. I am a member of the International Association of Feminist Economics, the Association of Social Economics and the International Association for Time Use Research.
Research
My research interests are related to the division, quality, and definition of both paid and unpaid work, how households and families are structured and formed around these types of work, and how the state interacts with households and the market to reinforce the gendered and racial division of work. I have broadly written on social security, poverty, and inequality specifically as these factors relate to gender inequalities in society.

Supervision
I am happy to supervise in any of the areas mentioned above.
