Lecture by Sociologist Dilyara Ibrahimova: "Money, Gender, Power: Finance in Family Relations"

Money is a resource, and always a limited resource, which is why it becomes a source of inequality. Power is also a resource, and also a source of inequality. But when gender enters the picture, the connection between money and power is disrupted.

What does financial power in a household represent?
What determines the distribution of financial power within families?
What are people's views on the roles of men and women in family relations?
Is the concept of the "head of the family" an outdated anachronism, a declaration, or a reality?

These are important and always relevant questions, applicable to almost everyone. We will discuss them in this lecture.
