2024 SEHO
2024 Meeting of the Society of Economics of the Household
The 2024 annual meeting of the Society of Economics of the Household (SEHO) will take place at the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore on May 28-29, 2024. The 2024 SEHO is organized by Singapore Management University (SMU).
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers in household economics. Household economics analyses all decisions made by households at both the micro-economic and macroeconomic level (Grossbard, 2015). It includes health, nutrition, eldercare, and risky behaviors; fertility, childcare, and household production of human capital; domestic violence and well-being of persons living in households; gender; consumption, savings and wealth accumulation; labor supply and other time uses; household formation (including marriage, cohabitation) and dissolution for heterosexuals and same-sex partners; household finances; migration; and intergenerational transfers.
